Lets get this clear, it was my understanding from your posts that there are two cases going through the Italian courts one is the Italian Govenment trying to get the Social tax contribution from Ryanair on the grounds that these pilots are really employees rather than having the contractor status that Ryanair gives them.......it was on this I was commenting.

The second case was aimed at pilots who had not declared their income to the Italian tax authorities, it is hardly the fault of Ryanair if these pilots failed to tell the Italian tax man about their income.

As a self employed person I know that the tax people will come looking for their money and I make provision for this, is the real problem that some pilots have not made provision for tax and now don't have the cash to cover the tax bill ?
