Confusion with salaried gig/ taxes / KSK rules

[booksnthings]

Hi all. I've been a freelancer in Germany for the past ten years, never had regular employment. I've been a member of the KSK for most of the last ten years. During a recent work rut, I tried looking for other gigs, including registering a profile on a site for film extras. I've now actually been offered a one-day shoot, and I'd like to do it, but I am trying to err on the side of caution. The agency says in the booking that tax and social security deductions will be taken from the day's fee, but since I'm already in the KSK, will this confuse things with them? I'd like to take the work, but not if it risks my KSK status. Thanks for any clarification you might have!

As long as you earn more and work longer for your "artistic" activity than as an extra (Statist), then there's no problem.

See the brochure "Versicherung bei der KSK trotz (Neben-) Job?" = "KSK insurance despite (part-time) job?": https://www.kuenstlersozialkasse.de/fil ... benjob.pdf
linked from question "18. Ich möchte nebenbei noch eine andere Tätigkeit / abhängige Beschäftigung ausüben - schadet das / geht das?" = "18 I would like to have another job / dependent employment on the side - does that hurt / is that possible?" of the Künstlersozialkasse FAQ: https://www.kuenstlersozialkasse.de/kue ... ublizisten

Thank you, Panda! I was trying to figure this out and clearly not reading the right info. I appreciate you weighing in, and apologies for the late reply. I don't seem to be getting notifications from TT.

Another forum member had the same missunderstanding.
