Outsourcing contract to be performed at the premises of the principal is genuine even when performed with equipments made available by the principal

The Ministry of Labour, with ruling no. 77 dated October 22, 2009, replied to an official enquiry of Confindustria (employers’ association), stating that the service contract can be considered genuine even if the contractor carries out the service with equipments provided by the principal directly, provided that the liability resulting from their use is charged on the contractor, which must bear the business risk.
