The selection of OKVED codes when filling out an application for registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC may seem like a real stumbling block to the applicant. Some professional registrars even list this service as a separate line in their price list. In fact, the selection of OKVED codes should be given a very modest place in the list of actions of a novice businessman.

If you still encounter difficulties with the selection of codes, then you can get a free consultation on OKVED, but for the sake of completeness, including familiarization with the risks associated with choosing codes, we recommend that you read this article to the end.

What are OKVED codes?

OKVED codes are statistical information designed to inform government bodies of what exactly a new business entity plans to do. The codes are indicated according to a special document - the All-Russian Classifier of Economic Activities, which gave the name to the abbreviation "OKVED".

In 2019, only one edition of the classifier is valid - OKVED-2(another name is OKVED-2014 or OK 029-2014 (NACE rev. 2)). Classifiers of editions OKVED-1 (other name OKVED-2001 or OK 029-2001 (NACE Rev. 1)) and OKVED-2007 or OK 029-2007 (NACE Rev. 1.1) became invalid from January 1, 2017.

If the applicant enters the codes of the wrong Classifier in the application, he will be denied registration, so be careful! Those who will fill out an application using our service do not need to worry, we have timely replaced OKVED-1 with OKVED-2. Documents will be filled out correctly.

When choosing OKVED codes, you must also take into account that certain types of activities require licensing, we have provided a complete list of them in the article.

OKVED structure

The OKVED classifier is a hierarchical list of activities, divided into sections with Latin letter designations from A to U. This is how the structure looks sections of OKVED 2:

OKVED sections:

• Section A. Agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing and fish farming
• Section D. Provision of electricity, gas and steam; air conditioning
• Section E. Water supply; wastewater disposal, organization of collection and disposal of waste, activities for the elimination of pollution
• Section G. Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles
• Section I. Activities of hotels and catering establishments
• Section L. Real Estate Activities
• Section M. Professional, scientific and technical activities
• Section N. Administrative Activities and Related Additional Services
• Section O. Public administration and military security; social Security
• Section Q. Health and social services activities
• Section R. Activities in the field of culture, sports, leisure and entertainment
• Section T. Activities of households as employers; undifferentiated activities of private households in the production of goods and services for their own consumption
• Section U Activities of Extraterritorial Organizations and Bodies

The letter names of the sections are not used in the formation of OKVED codes. The classification of the code occurs within the section in the following form (asterisks indicate the number of digits):

**. - Class;

**.* - subclass;

**.** - Group;

**.**.* - subgroup;

**.**.** - view.

Let's give an example of OKVED code 2 from section A "Agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing and fish farming":

• Class 01 - Crop and animal husbandry, hunting and provision of related services in these areas;
• Subclass 01.1 - Growing of annual crops;
• Group 01.13 - Cultivation of vegetables, melons, root and tuber crops, mushrooms and truffles;
• Subgroup 01.13.3 - Growing of table root and tuber crops with a high content of starch or inulin;
• View 01.13.31 - Growing potatoes.

Such a detailed specification of the code (up to six digits inclusive) is not required to be indicated in the application. It is enough to write the OKVED code within 4 digits, that is, only up to the group of the type of activity. If you have specified a group of codes (that is, a code consisting of four digits), then the codes of subgroups and types automatically fall into it, so they do not have to be specified separately or supplemented later.

Example:

• Group 01.13 "Growing of vegetables, gourds, root and tuber crops, mushrooms and truffles" includes:
• 01.13.1: Growing vegetables;
• 01.13.2: Cultivation of gourds;
• 01.13.3: Cultivation of table root and tuber crops with a high content of starch or inulin;
• 01.13.4: Growing seeds vegetable crops, with the exception of sugar beet seeds;
• 01.13.5: Cultivation of sugar beets and sugar beet seeds;
• 01.13.6: Cultivation of mushrooms and truffles;
• 01.13.9: Growing vegetables n.e.c.

If you indicated the OKVED code 01.13, then, for example, the cultivation of vegetables and the cultivation of mushrooms and truffles are included in this group, so it is not necessary to indicate them separately as 01.13.1 and 01.13.6, it is enough to limit yourself to the code 01.13.

Examples of selection of OKVED codes depending on the chosen field of activity

Not always the applicant's idea of ​​the proposed activity codes coincides with the logic of the structure of the OKVED classifier. For example, it is clear when we are talking on activities related to the rental of apartments and offices. The following OKVED codes are suitable here:

• 68.20 Renting and management of own or leased immovable property
• 68.20.1 Renting and management of own or leased residential real estate
• 68.20.2 Renting and management of own or leased non-residential immovable property

Also, quite logically, the types of activities related to trade or the provision of taxi services are lined up. But here, for example, a designer associated with Internet advertising can work under the following OKVED codes:

• 18.12 Other types of printing activities
• 74.20 Photography activities
• 62.09 Activities related to the use computer science and information technologies, other
• 73.11 Activities of advertising agencies
• 73.12 Representation in the media
• 90.03 Artistic activities
• 90.01 Performing arts activities
• 62.01 Development of computer software

How many OKVED codes can be indicated in the application?

As much as you like, it is not forbidden to enter at least the entire classifier in the application (the only question is how much you need it). In the sheet where OKVED codes are indicated, 57 codes can be entered, but there may be several such sheets, in which case the main type of activity is entered only once, on the first sheet.

Please note that if the OKVED code you have chosen relates to the field of education, upbringing and development of children, medical care, social protection and social services, youth sports, as well as culture and art with the participation of minors, then a certificate of registration will need to be attached to the registration application. no criminal record (clause 1 (k) of article 22.1 of law No. 129-FZ). The document is submitted upon an interdepartmental request, but in order not to delay the registration process, it is possible, having previously specified this possibility in the registering inspection, to request a certificate in advance.

The law stipulates this requirement only for individuals (that is, individual entrepreneurs), and when registering an LLC, such a certificate is not required.

Responsibility for conducting activities not according to OKVED

As such, there is no liability for non-OKVED activities. And arbitrage practice, and letters from the Ministry of Finance confirm that the entrepreneur is not liable for the implementation of activities not specified in the USRIP or USRLE.

At the same time, if you are operating under an OKVED code that is not registered or entered later, you can be held administratively liable in the amount of up to 5,000 rubles under Art. 14.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation for "... non-submission, or untimely submission, or submission of false information about legal entity or about individual entrepreneur". OKVED codes to the list of such mandatory information include Art. 5 (5) of Law No. 129-FZ of 08.08.01, so it will be necessary to hurry up to make changes within three days after the start of activities under the new code.

The main activity according to OKVED

And here you have to be careful. The fact is that the accrual of contributions for employees for insurance against industrial accidents and occupational diseases occurs in accordance with the tariffs for the main type of activity. The more risky (traumatic or provoking occupational diseases) the activity is, the higher the rate of insurance premiums.

Until April 15 of the year following the reporting year, employers must submit documents confirming the main type of activity to the FSS in the manner prescribed by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development No. 55 dated January 31, 2006. Organizations submit such confirmation annually, and individual entrepreneurs - employers only if they have changed their main activity. The main type of activity is considered to be the type of activity, the income from which is higher in comparison with income from other activities over the past year.

If confirmation is not submitted, then the FSS sets the highest tariffs of all types of activities indicated by the insured, and this is where the OKVED codes are overly indicated and may turn out to be very inappropriate.

How are tax regimes and OKVED codes related?

All special, they are also preferential, tax regimes (STS, UTII, ESHN, PSN) have restrictions on the type of activity if you intend to engage in certain types activity, and at the same time choose a mode in which such activity is not provided, then there is a conflict of interest. Either you need to change tax regime, or the desired OKVED. In order not to get into a similar situation, we recommend that you consult with experts in advance on the choice of a suitable taxation system.

For organizations, the procedure for notifying changes in OKVED codes will depend on whether the relevant types of activities are indicated in the Charter. Please note that if the list of activities contains an indication of “... other types of activities not prohibited by law” (or something similar), then there is no need to amend the Charter. Changes to OKVED codes without changing the Charter are reported.

If the new codes do not even come close to the types of activities already indicated in the Charter (for example, production is indicated, and you decide to engage in trade), and the phrases about other types of activities that do not contradict the law are not spelled out in it, then use In this case, you will have to also pay a state duty in the amount of 800 rubles.

A brief minimum you need to know about OKVED

1. OKVED codes are a statistical designation of the code for the types of activities that the applicant indicates in the application for registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC.
2. At least one activity code must be indicated in the application, the maximum number of OKVED codes is theoretically unlimited.
3. It makes no sense to indicate as many codes as possible in the application (just in case), because when registering an individual entrepreneur, among them there may be those for the maintenance of which, in addition to the usual package of documents, a certificate of no criminal record must be presented.
4. If you have chosen a special tax regime, then when choosing OKVED codes, you must take into account restrictions on the types of activities in this regime.
5. If there are employees, the main type of activity must be confirmed with the FSS before April 15: for organizations annually, for individual entrepreneurs only if the main code is changed, because. this affects the rates of insurance premiums for employees.
6. Responsibility for activities not according to the specified OKVED codes is not provided, but for untimely (within three days) notification of a change in codes, an administrative fine of up to 5 thousand rubles can be imposed.
7. If you or your counterparty do not have the relevant OKVED codes, tax disputes are possible, with a refusal to reduce the tax base or apply another tax benefit for the transaction.

In Belarus, in some cases, the National Classifier of the Republic of Belarus OKRB 005-2011 "Types of economic activity" (OKED) is used

The European counterpart is the Statistical Classification of Activities in the European Economic Community (NACE (English) Russian ed 2)

Encyclopedic YouTube

• 1 / 5

  OKVED is the All-Russian Classification of Economic Activities OK 029-2014 (NACE Rev. 2), which entered into force on February 1, 2014 with the right of early application in legal relations that arose from January 1, 2014. Adopted by Order of the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and metrology dated January 31, 2014 No. 14-st. From January 1, 2017, the same order canceled the previous editions of OKVED: OK 029-2001 (NACE Rev. 1) and OK 029-2007 (NACE Rev. 1.1).

  OKVED is built on the basis of harmonization with the official version in Russian of the Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community (version 2) - Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community (NACE Rev. 2) by saving in OKVED 2 (from NACE Rev. 2) codes (up to four characters inclusive) and names of the corresponding groupings without changing the scope of concepts. Features that reflect the needs of the Russian economy in terms of detailing types of economic activity are taken into account in OKVED 2 groupings at the level of groupings with five- and six-digit codes.

  In this classifier, the level of detail has been significantly increased: sections (sections) in OKVED 2 - 21 versus 17 in OKVED. At the same time, the number of factions has been increased from about 2000 to 2680.

  Letter codes (now from A to U) do not carry an independent code load and meaning, since the six-digit digital code designation is unique for the classifier as a whole. They are retained only for the purposes of continuity with NACE Rev.2 and should not be used in the construction of code marks.

  As classification features of types of economic activity in OKVED 2, features characterizing the field of activity, the production process (technology) are used. As an additional (within the same production process), the sign "used raw materials and materials" can be distinguished.

  In accordance with international practice, OKVED 2 does not take into account such classification features as the form of ownership, organizational and legal form and departmental subordination of economic entities, does not distinguish between domestic and foreign trade, market and non-market, commercial and non-commercial types of economic activity.

  OKVED 2 - All-Russian classifier of types of economic activity OK 029-2014 (NACE Rev. 2) Approved by Order of Rosstandart dated January 31, 2014 No. 14-st with entry into force from February 1, 2014 and cancellation from January 1, 2015 of the previous editions of OKVED. Aligned with ISIC 4

  OKVED (from 2001 to 2017)

  Description

  Created based on the official Russian version Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Economic Community (NACE) Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community). The classifier OK 029-2001 (NACE Rev. 1) was adopted by the Resolution of the State Standard No. 454-st of November 6, 2001, entered into force on January 1, 2003. From January 1, 2008, it was supplemented by the classifier OK 029-2007 (NACE Rev. 1.1), approved by order of Rostekhregulirovanie No. 329-st dated November 22, 2007. Replaced the All-Union Classification of Industries National economy(OKONKh) and Parts I and IV of the All-Russian Classification of Economic Activities, Products and Services (OKDP) relating to economic activities.

  Structure

  The code for grouping types of economic activity consists of two to six digital characters and its structure can be represented as follows:

  • XX - class;
  • XX.X - subclass;
  • XX.XX - group;
  • XX.XX.X - subgroup;
  • XX.XX.XX - view.

  Story

  OKED Replaced the All-Union classifier of branches of the national economy (OKONH), which was in force from 1976 to 2003. OKONH was developed on the basis of the resolutions of the Party and the Government. OKONH is integral part Unified classification and coding system for technical and economic information used in automated systems management in the national economy.

  OKONH was designed to provide machine information processing for managing the national economy and is used to solve the problems of automated control systems at various levels of management and ensure their information compatibility. OKONH is a grouping of activities by industries that differ in the nature of the functions performed by them in common system social division of labor. With the help of a classifier, the structure of the national economy that is taking shape in the process of expanded socialist reproduction is studied, the level of development of the productive forces of socialist society, the degree of development of the social division of labor are characterized. OKONH is designed to provide a grouping of enterprises and organizations by industry in order to provide a scientific analysis of intersectoral relations and proportions in the development of the national economy, comparability of indicators in the analysis of the economic efficiency of social production and growth in the productivity of social labor, as well as linking planned and reporting indicators that characterize the development of the economy and culture countries.

  Within the large branches of the national economy, which are formed on the basis of the social division of labor, more fractional branches are distinguished, which are a set of enterprises producing homogeneous products, or a set of institutions and organizations associated with the performance of certain social functions. The classification unit of an industry is an enterprise, institution, organization that is on an independent balance sheet. Each individual enterprise (organization), depending on the nature of the main type of activity, can be attributed to any one branch of the national economy.

  If an enterprise, an institution, an organization has auxiliary production and subdivisions that perform functions of a different nature, and if they have an independent accounting system and are separated into separate accounting units (for example, housing and communal, medical, cultural, domestic, industrial , agricultural, construction, trade, etc.), then such industries and subdivisions belong to those branches of the national economy that correspond to the nature of their activities in the social division of labor. For example, auxiliary agriculture at an industrial enterprise should be assigned to the “Agriculture” sector, auxiliary industrial production during construction - to the “Industry” sector, etc.

  Structural subdivisions of enterprises and organizations (workshops, workshops, departments) engaged in internal transportation, supply and marketing activities, organizations and points of contact, machine counting stations, as well as bases and warehouses of enterprises, institutions and organizations that are not allocated to an independent balance sheet, are accounted for on the main activities of these enterprises, institutions and organizations. Based on this, in the Industry branch, for example, the industrial and production activities of industrial enterprises that are on an independent balance sheet, and auxiliary industrial production at non-industrial organizations, allocated to separate accounting units; in the "Agriculture" sector - agricultural activities of state farms, collective farms and auxiliary agricultural production at enterprises and institutions, allocated to separate accounting units; in the "Construction" industry - construction and installation activities, etc.

  • 85000 - Geology and exploration of subsoil, geodetic and hydrometeorological services
  • 87000 - Other activities in the sphere of material production, which are collected according to the first two signs.

  Branches of the non-productive sphere of activity are collected according to the first sign - "9":

  • 90000 - Housing and communal services
  • 90300 - Non-productive types of consumer services for the population
  • 91000 - Healthcare, Physical Culture and welfare
  • 92000 - Public education

  • 99000 - Extraterritorial organizations and bodies.

  (introduced by Amendment No. 24/2000, approved by the State Standard of the Russian Federation on February 15, 2000) For a number of groupings of the classifier, the code is set as an exception against the accepted rule for the formation of codes in general for the classifier.

  Name: All-Russian Classification of Economic Activities Abbreviation: OKVED 2 Designation: OK 029-2014 (NACE Rev. 2) In English: Russian Classification of Economic Activities Responsible: Ministry of Economic Development of Russia Reason: Order of Rosstandart No. 14-st dated 31.01.2014 Date of introduction : 02/01/2014 End date: not set (there is no order to cancel the classifier or replace it with a new one) Last change: No. 14, effective from December 1, 2017 Reason for change: Rosstandart Order No. 1045-st dated September 8, 2017

  Development and introduction

  OK 029-2014 was developed and submitted by the Ministry economic development Russian Federation. Built on the basis of harmonization with the official Russian version of NACE Rev.2 (Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community Rev2 - Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Economic Community (version 2)).

  Structure and objects

  OKVED contains records of all groupings of types of economic activity, presented hierarchically. To identify groupings, each classifier entry has a code designation consisting of numbers (from two to six) with a sequential coding method. Between the second and third, and between the fourth and fifth digits, dots indicate nesting levels and were added to ensure compliance with NACE Rev.2 code entries.

  The structure of OKVED 2 is as follows:
  Chapter
  XX - class
  XX.X - subclass
  XX.XX - group
  XX.XX.X - subgroup
  XX.XX.XX - view

  Sections have alphabetic codes of the Latin alphabet, which are not used in the construction of code designations (introduced for continuity with NACE Rev.2). Classifier entries may include explanations of what the section/grouping/activity includes and does not include.

  This page contains information from the OKVED classifier edition 2 (OK 029-2014 NACE), which came into effect on June 28, 2016.
  Before this date, when registering firms, (OK 029-2001 (NACE Rev. 1))

  OKVED 2 - section C - MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES

  This section includes:
  - physical and/or chemical treatment materials, substances or components for the purpose of converting them into new products, although this cannot be used as a single universal criterion for determining production (below recycling)

  Materials, substances or transformed components are raw materials, i.e. products of agriculture, forestry, fisheries, rocks and minerals and products of other manufacturing industries. Significant periodic changes, updates or transformations of products are considered to be related to production.

  The manufactured product may be ready for consumption or may be a semi-finished product for further processing. For example, an aluminum refining product is used as a raw material for the primary production of aluminum products, such as aluminum wire, which in turn will be used in the necessary designs for the production of machinery and equipment for which these spare parts and accessories are intended. The manufacture of non-specialized components and parts of machinery and equipment, such as engines, pistons, electric motors, valves, gears, bearings, is classified in the appropriate grouping of section C Manufacturing, regardless of what machinery and equipment these items may be part of. However, the manufacture of specialized components and accessories by molding/molding or stamping plastic materials is classified in 22.2. The assembly of component parts and parts is also referred to as production. This division includes the assembly of integral structures from constituent components, either self-produced or purchased. Recycling, i.e. processing of waste for the production of secondary raw materials was included in group 38.3 (processing of secondary raw materials). While physical and chemical processing may take place, this is not considered part of manufacturing. The primary purpose of these activities is the main processing or processing of waste, which is classified in section E (water supply, sewerage, waste collection and disposal, pollution elimination activities). However, the production of new finished products (as opposed to products made from recycled materials) refers to all production as a whole, even if waste is used in these processes. For example, the production of silver from film waste is considered a manufacturing process. Special maintenance and repair of industrial, commercial and similar machinery and equipment is generally classified in group 33 (repair and installation of machinery and equipment). However, repair of computers, household appliances is classified under group 95 (repair of computers, personal and household items), while repair of automobiles is classified under group 45 (wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles). Installation of machinery and equipment as a highly specialized activity is classified in group 33.20

  Note - The boundaries of manufacturing with other sections of this classifier may not have a clear unambiguous specification. As a rule, manufacturing industries involve the processing of materials to produce new products. Usually it's completely new products. However, the definition of what constitutes a new product can be somewhat subjective.

  Processing implies the following types of activities involved in production and defined in this classifier:
  - processing of fresh fish (extraction of oysters from shells, filleting of fish) not carried out on board a fishing vessel, see 10.20;
  - milk pasteurization and bottling, see 10.51;
  - dressing of leather, OKVED code 15.11;
  - sawing and planing of wood; impregnation of wood, see 16.10;
  - printing and related activities, see 18.1
  - tire retreading, OKVED code 22.11;
  - production of ready-to-use concrete mixtures, OKVED code 23.63 ;
  - electroplating, metallization and heat treatment of metal, OKVED code 25.61;
  - mechanical equipment for repair or overhaul (e.g. motor vehicle engines), see code 29.10

  There are also activities included in the processing process, which are reflected in other sections of the classifier, i.e. they are not classified as manufacturing.

  These include:
  - logging, classified in section A (AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY, HUNTING, FISHING AND FISH CULTURE);
  - modification of agricultural products classified in section A;
  - preparation of foodstuffs for immediate consumption on the premises, classified in group 56 (activities of catering establishments and bars);
  - beneficiation of ore and other minerals classified in section B (MINING);
  - construction and assembly work carried out on construction sites, classified in section F (CONSTRUCTION);
  - the activity of breaking large lots of goods into small groups and re-marketing of smaller lots, including packaging, repackaging or bottling of products such as alcoholic beverages or chemicals;
  - sorting solid waste;
  - mixing of paints according to the client's order;
  - cutting of metals according to the client's order;
  - explanations of the various goods classified under Section G (Wholesale and Retail Repair of Motor Vehicles and Motorcycles).
