Questão jurídica principal
Whether payments to J.________ for work for the company constituted earnings from dependent employment subject to paritary AHV/IV/EO/ALV contributions.
Decisão extraída
The payments were wage subject to contribution, not income from self-employment.
Fundamentação extraída
The court upheld the lower court's assessment that the decisive factors were the contractual and organizational dependence and the close link of the activities to the company’s purpose and board mandate. The claimant's prior status as self-employed real-estate dealer did not preclude wage treatment for this separate income stream.
