Social security income includes contract work earnings even if the worker runs a business.

The Supreme Court dismissed the Social Security Agency's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling. The court found that veterinarians performing official animal inspections under contract agreements with their employer were employees, not independent contractors, despite registering a business. Consequently, their earnings from these contracts were deemed employment income subject to social security contributions under Article 2, Section 3 of the relevant Act. The decision established that income from contract work performed for an employer counts as wages regardless of the worker's separate business registration.
