Notification of the requirement to be up-to-date with Tax Obligations

The current Employment Promotion Programme sets out the requirement that employers must be up-to-date with their tax obligations to be eligible to receive the benefits provided for in the programme.

In order to verify this circumstance, a procedure has been set up with the Tax Administration Offices, in which they provide information on the holders of Contribution Account Codes (with which workers have been affiliated with details that make them eligible for contribution allowances) stating whether they are up-to-date with their tax obligations.

This verification procedure is not carried out when the affiliation is entered in the General Affiliation File (GAF), but rather when the inclusion of the affiliation is complete.

Therefore, the affiliation is included in the GAF with the details originally provided by the user, which will determine the information on the eligibility for the Social Security benefit that is provided along with the decision accepting the affiliation. However, if in the relevant verification process it is confirmed that the employer is not up-to-date with their tax obligations, the necessary affiliation details will be automatically corrected so that the system does not apply contribution benefits.

Given that the decision informing the user of their eligibility for the benefits could have been provided to them before before verifying whether the employer is up-to-date with their tax obligations, the user will be informed of the detected situation regarding the non-fulfilment of tax obligations by the relevant employer.

Therefore, a new form providing information on the new status of the entered affiliation is automatically supplied.

If the employer proves to the relevant Administrative Office of the Social Security -by any means allowed by law- that they are up-to-date with their tax contributions on the contract start date of the worker who started the process, the Administrative Office of the Social Security will correct the registration of the worker affiliation with the details initially provided by the employer, for the registration to be eligible again for the provided benefits.

New CIF and NIE Values

As a result of the entry into force, on July 1 this year, of Royal Decree 1065/2007 of 27 July 2007, and EHA Order/451/2008 of 20 February 2008, new letters for the NIF for legal entities have been created (CIF), a code which is assigned by the National Tax Administration Agency.

The NIF for legal entities is a 9-character identification code (one letter, six numeric digits and a control character).

Up to now the possible values for the first position were A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,N,P,Q,S.

As a result of the entry into force of EHA Order/0451/2008 the values J,U,V,W,R, have been created. These are intended to identify civil societies, with and without legal personality respectively to: temporary unions of the company; other types of national legal entities not defined by the remaining codes; the permanent settlement of a non-resident citizen in Spanish territory; congregations and religious institutions.

None of the other characters have been changed from their current configuration.

There have also been changes to the configuration of the Foreign Resident Identification Number (NIE)

This identifier is still 9 characters long (one letter, seven numeric digits and an alphabetic control character).

As all the available numbers for the 7 numeric digits have been used, and to avoid changing the length of this identifier, two new letters for the first position have been created (until now only the letter 'X' was used in this position): Y, Z.

For all three letters (X,Y,Z) the type of identifier for an individual will remain as '6'.

Both changes have been implemented in all the applications on the RED System.

From 26 August 2008, a new version of WinSuite32 will be available (version 6.5.0).

Please remember that WinSuite32 will automatically update during delivery and no manual update is necessary.

New Controls for Recording TD Medical Discharge Certificates

With regard to exercising the power set forth in Article 128 1.a) of the Revised Text of the General Social Social Security Act (TRLGSS), you are informed that since 4 August 2008, new error codes have been created which will be issued when upon receipt a medical discharge certificate from the Public Health Service (SPS) or the Automatic Data Transfer">RED System in |TD processes of over 12 months or relapses of other previous TD processes resolved by a medical discharge certificate from the Provincial Director of the INSS, all of which in accordance with the provisions of paragraph two, 1. a) of the aforementioned Article 128 of the |TR. LGSS which states that:

"...after the twelve-month period of temporary disability has ended, the National Institute of the Social Security, through the bodies empowered to assess, grade and review a worker's permanent disability, will be the only body with the power to grant an express extension up to a limit of a further six months, or to decide to start a permanent disability file, or to issue a medical discharge certificate... Likewise, the National Institute of the Social Security is the only body with the power to issue a new sick leave certificate for temporary disability when it occurs within the six months following the aforementioned medical discharge for the same or similar ailment, with the effects provided for in the following paragraphs..."   

The purpose of this modification is to inform companies through the RED System of the nullity of the registration reports that may be issued by the |SPS and transmitted by the companies through the RED System, in processes lasting more than 12 months, on which the INSS is the only competent body to decide on the worker's situation, in application of the provisions of the aforementioned article 128 of the |TR. LGSS, and for which the Provincial Directorate will have issued the communication to the company in accordance with the clinical situation of the worker in each case at the end of the 12th month.

The aforementioned error messages that will be returned both to the |SPS and the companies are as follows:

• ERROR 39 - "Medical discharge null and void |art.  128 LGSS "
• ERROR 40 - Less than 12 months from date of sick leave
• ERROR 41 - Exclusive power of the INSS

These error messages will be generated in the following circumstances:


• ERROR 39 - Medical discharge null and void |art.  128 LGSS 

This will be issued when a Medical Discharge Certificate (MDC) is received, for a reason other than 10 (control INSS) or 02 (death), after 12 months of temporary disability have passed.


• ERROR 40 - Less than 12 months from date of sick leave

This will be sent when a medical discharge certificate with reason 05 (expiry of 18 months of temporary disability) or reason 10 (control INSS 12 months) in those TD processes that began as a result of the |SPS issuing a sick leave certificate, within the six months following the medical discharge issued by the Provincial Director of the INSS, and which, therefore, can be a relapse of a previous TD process, for which the Provincial Director of the INSS did not issue the due decision.


• ERROR 41 - Exclusive power of the INSS 

This error will be issued when a medical discharge certificate is sent with a reason other than 02 (death), for a relapse of a previous process that was resolved by medical discharge within the scope of |Art. 128, and for which the decision of the Provincial Director had already been issued, irrespective of its outcome. This rejection will not occur in those cases in which the possible relapse has been resolved as a new process (sick leave for a different ailment).
