Question juridique clé
Whether default interest of CHF 4,988 on the 2011 AHV contribution reassessment was lawful.
Solution extraite
Yes. For a reassessment of contributions for a past year, default interest is owed from 1 January of the following year until invoicing; the 5% rate and the calculation basis were correct.
Motifs extraits
Art. 41bis AHVV applies to contribution reassessments for past years. Interest therefore began on 1 January 2012 and ended with invoicing on 6 May 2013. The later reassessed amount of CHF 164,285.40 was the proper basis, and no unlawful delay by the fund was shown.
