Filing an objection after a tax audit by the Artists' Social Security Fund

You can lodge an objection to a decision by the KSK in writing:

• Compose your objection including the reasons for the objection.
• Sign the objection and send it to the KSK by post, fax or electronically as a PDF file with your signature.
• Another option is to submit the objection in writing to the KSK.
• The KSK will check your objection as soon as it is received.
• You will receive a confirmation of receipt.
• If the objection is not sufficiently substantiated, the KSK will request further documents from you.
• If your objection can be remedied, you will receive a so-called remedial decision. This means that the KSK considers your objection to be well-founded.
• If your objection cannot be remedied, the KSK will reject it with a decision.

You can lodge an objection if

• the KSK has inspected your company and
• the decision addressed to you provides for an appeal.
  • You can only appeal against a decision that follows an objection.

• If represented by an authorized representative: power of attorney signed by you

There are no costs for you.
