Questão jurídica principal
Whether the 2008 AHV contribution basis for self-employment had to be recalculated using income over a longer period and deducting later losses or withdrawals.
Decisão extraída
No. Contributions are based on the income actually earned in the calendar year 2008; there is no annualization or reliance on later year tax assessments for 2008 contributions.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 22 AHVV makes the calendar year the contribution year and does not provide for conversion to a full-year income. Losses and withdrawals attributable to 2009 are relevant, if at all, for 2009 contributions, not for 2008.
