Interesting Facts about KSK
As part of the statutory social insurance, the Künstlersozialversicherung enables freelance artists and journalists to access health, care, and pension insurance.
The artist himself/herself pays a contribution to the KSK based on his/her annual profit.
Companies that use or exploit the services of independent artists/journalists are required to pay a Künstlersozialabgabe to the Künstlersozialkasse. And participate in the statutory reporting procedure. The first step is an informal notification to the Künstlersozialkasse.
The Künstlersozialabgabe represents the amount that a company has to pay to the Künstlersozialkasse, thus contributing to the quasi "employer's share" of the Künstlersozialversicherung. The amount of the social contribution is based on the paid fee. Currently (2024), the contribution rate to the Künstlersozialversicherung is 5%.
The client must pay the Künstlersozialabgabe as follows:
Net Invoice amount
less travel expenses
= Assessment basis for Künstlersozialabgabe
