Künstlersozialversicherung Änderung Grunddaten (Tätigkeit)

If you change the legal form of your activity or the activity itself, this may affect your obligation to be insured with the Künstlersozialkasse (KSK).

The determination of the insurance obligation according to the Artists' Social Insurance Act is always based on the information and documents that you have provided regarding your self-employed artistic or journalistic activity in the determination procedure.

Insofar as changes occur in the nature of your activities, the focus of your overall activity or the legal form of your activity, the obligation to insure must be reviewed.

The same applies if you take up additional self-employed activities.

Please note that if the artistic or journalistic activity is carried out in the legal form of a legal person or company, this may also have to pay artists' social security contributions.
