inform Künstlersozialkasse of the change of legal form or focus of activity
The determination of the insurance obligation under the Artists' Social Insurance Act is always based on the information and documents that you have provided for your independent artistic or journalistic activity in the assessment procedure.
If there are changes in the nature of your activities, in the focus of your overall activity or in the legal form of your activity, the insurance obligation must be reviewed.
The same applies to the taking up of 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, the latter may also have to pay artists' social security contributions.
