The Supreme Court ruled that the definition of 'income' for social security contributions includes gross income before deducting acquisition costs. The plaintiff argued that income should be net, citing tax law definitions, while the Social Security Office insisted on gross figures. The court rejected the analogy to tax law, stating that social security regulations explicitly define income as gross remuneration to ensure uniformity and legal certainty.
