Social Security contributions are not deductible from employment income

The taxpayer asks whether Social Security contributions can be deducted as an expense from employment income. The DGT rules that these contributions are not deductible from employment income; instead, they must be deducted when calculating the net income of an economic activity, provided the chosen estimation method allows it.
