Notify the Künstlersozialkasse of changes in legal circumstances

The Künstlersozialkasse determines your company's obligation to pay the levy and calculates the amount of the artists' social security contribution.

If your legal circumstances change, the Künstlersozialkasse must check whether this change affects your current or future obligation to pay the levy.

Changes in the legal circumstances are, for example

• Change of legal form
• Transfer of the company to another person
• Inclusion or departure of a person involved in the company
• Transfer of company shares to another person
• Transformation by merger, demerger, transfer of assets or change of legal form to another or additional company
• Dissolution of the company

Requirements

• Your company is already registered with the Künstlersozialkasse.
• The legal circumstances of your company have changed, e.g. company name, legal form, shareholder or proprietor.
• The change has already been completed, for example by registration with the relevant registry court or trade office.
