What this document is

TA.6 (“Solicitud de inscripción en el sistema de Seguridad Social”) is the official form of Spain’s General Treasury of Social Security (TGSS). With it an employer — an individual (empresario individual) or a company (empresario colectivo) — registers with Social Security and receives its first, main contribution account code (Código de Cuenta de Cotización, CCC).

Without a CCC you cannot register an employee (alta) or pay contributions for them. TGSS asks for the registration before the activity starts. For domestic staff TGSS has a different form, TA.6-0138.

Who files and where

  • an employer hiring staff for the first time: a sole trader or a company (SL, SA, joint ownership, etc.);
  • in person — at the TGSS office (Administración) nearest to your address;
  • with a digital certificate — online through the Social Security e-Office (Sede Electrónica);
  • according to a notice on the form itself, newly created companies must receive TGSS notifications electronically (Orden ESS/485/2013).

What the form asks

  • the Social Security scheme (usually GENERAL), any special system and the registration date;
  • the employer: name or company name, trade name, document type and number (DNI, NIE, CIF), and the NSS for a sole trader;
  • for a company — the date of incorporation and registry details (volume, sheet, section);
  • home address or registered office, phones and e-mail, and the place of activity;
  • the economic activity, IAE heading and collective agreement, special cases (temp agency, school, special employment centre);
  • who covers work accidents and temporary incapacity (a mutual society or INSS);
  • a representative, if someone else files, and the receipt (resguardo).

What to bring

  • the identity document of the sole trader;
  • the document assigning the tax number (NIF) showing the activity (not needed for domestic staff);
  • for a company — the deed of incorporation entered in the registry and the ID of the signatory;
  • the representative’s ID and authorisation, if they file.

If something is missing, the form’s correction sheet (Subsanación) gives 10 days to fix it. The decision takes up to 45 days; with no answer in that time the application may be deemed approved.

Frequently asked questions

Who needs TA.6?

An employer hiring staff for the first time — a sole trader or a company. Without registration and a contribution account code (CCC) you cannot register an employee.

When should I file it?

Before the activity starts, i.e. before the first employee begins work. You state the registration date on the form yourself.

Can I file online?

Yes, with a digital certificate through the Social Security e-Office (Sede Electrónica). In person — at the nearest TGSS office.

I am hiring a domestic worker — is this my form?

No. For the Special System for Domestic Employees TGSS has a separate form, TA.6-0138. That is why section 9 of this form is left empty.

What goes in the “Régimen” box?

Almost always GENERAL. CARBÓN is coal mining, MAR is work at sea with a contribution group; some sectors (artists, bullfighters, football) state the sector.

Does a sole trader fill in section 3?

No. The section on the date of incorporation and the registry is only for companies and other collective employers.

What do I write about the mutual society and INSS?

Who covers work accidents: the name of the mutual society or INSS. If a mutual also covers temporary incapacity, it must be the same one.

How long until a decision?

According to the form, up to 45 days from registration of the application; with no answer in that time it may be deemed approved.
