Whether moratory interest was owed on the unpaid AVS contributions for 2004-2006.
Yes. The statutory conditions for moratory interest were met because the advance payments were at least 25% below the final contributions due and payment occurred only after the relevant deadline.
Under Art. 26 LPGA and Art. 41bis al. 1 let. f RAVS, interest is due irrespective of fault; the appellant's arguments about administrative delay were irrelevant. The caisse even reduced interest for 2004 and 2005 beyond what the law required.
