Change notification of artists' social security contribution


If your previous remuneration report is incorrect, you must inform the Künstlersozialkasse and correct your report.

If you run a company that is obliged to pay artists' social security contributions, you must submit an annual remuneration report to the Künstlersozialkasse. You must report the payments you made to self-employed persons for artistic or journalistic services or works in the previous calendar year. This sum is used to calculate the artists' social security contribution you have to pay.

If you discover that the remuneration report you have submitted is incorrect or incomplete, inform the Künstlersozialkasse and send a correction report.

The Künstlersozialkasse will check whether your correction report changes the amount of the levy under the Artists' Social Insurance Act.

If you have been notified of a tax audit by the Künstlersozialkasse or a German pension insurance institution, please do not submit a correction report to the Künstlersozialkasse. The change will be taken into account during the tax audit.

The Künstlersozialkasse will be happy to advise you.
