Appeal against a notice of change to the artists' social security contribution

Based on your objection, the Künstlersozialkasse (KSK) will check again whether it has made the correct findings. This can be done solely on the basis of the previous facts or on the basis of additional information or documents that you have subsequently submitted during the objection procedure.

You have the right to appoint an authorized person to communicate with the KSK on your behalf. This can be a lawyer, for example. If the appeal is successful for you, the KSK will usually reimburse the costs of the authorized person. The costs of a tax consultant cannot be reimbursed.

Requirements

• You have already reported your fees and received a statement from the KSK.
• The KSK will recalculate your artists' social security contribution if your declaration and thus also the statement subsequently prove to be incorrect.

What documents do I need?

• As a rule, the KSK will ask you for any missing documents that it needs to make a decision.
  

  However, you can also submit any documents you consider important to support your request.
