PhD students have to pay retirement contribution to INPS calculated on the amount of their scholarships (art. 2 par. 26 Law 335/95 and further amendments).
Currently the total rate amounts to 35,03% (or 24% if the recipient has already registered to other kind of compulsory insurance for retirement): 2/3 must be paid by the University, 1/3 by the PhD student.
Contributions are deducted directly from the bi-monthly installment and paid to INPS (National Social Security Institute) by the University of Trento.
