Italian Supreme Court allows INPS appeal, ruling prescription period for social security contributions includes payment deadline extensions.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Italian Supreme Court granted the INPS's appeal against a lower court ruling that had declared the contribution payment obligation prescribed. The lower court had incorrectly fixed the prescription interruption date to January 2017, ignoring a specific government decree that extended the payment deadline for 2009 contributions to July 2010. The Court reversed this error, establishing that the prescription period must be calculated from the actual extended deadline, thereby invalidating the lower court's decision and remanding the case.
Regesto Legislator
Generato dall'IAArt. 2935, Art. 2944 c.c.; In social security matters, the prescription period for separate management contributions begins when payment deadlines expire, meaning any statutory extension of those deadlines must be considered for calculating the start of the prescription period.
