Questione giuridica chiave
Whether Säule 3a contributions may be deducted from IV pension income
Decisione estratta
No. Only income from actual employment or self-employment qualifies; a disability pension does not create deductible capacity for additional bound self-provision.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 82 BVG and Art. 7 BVV 3 limit deductibility to employees and self-employed persons with actual gainful activity. IV benefits are based on disability, not lack of employment, and are not replacement earnings for this purpose. Deducting 3a contributions from pension income would contradict the purpose of tied self-provision.
