Direct Payment System

Over the last few years, the Social Security Treasury General (TGSS) has been working on a new Direct Payment System for Social Security contributions, which will allow it to play an active role in the collection process, changing from a self-assessment model to an invoicing model, as well as providing more information about contributions to companies and workers, using a personalised and multichannel service model.

The priority objective of the Direct Payment System are: to minimise errors when the TGSS assumes the application of the rules on contributions, to check data prior to payment, and to improve transparency and relations with companies, based on an entirely digital system, eliminating the need for proceedings in person and on paper.

This system involved changes to the current procedure for exchanging information and the processing, structure and format of the files which RED System users use to interact with the TGSS.
