Type of economic activity of the organization. What is OKVED: choosing statistics codes for the organization

The All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activities (OKVED) was put into effect on January 1, 2003, replacing the previously existing All-Union Classifier of Economic Sectors OKONKH.

The objects of classification in OKVED are types economic activity. Economic activity occurs when resources (equipment, labor, technology, raw materials, materials, energy, information resources) are combined into a production process with the goal of producing products or providing services.

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

OKVED includes the following sections:

Agriculture, hunting and forestry

Fishing and fish farming

Mining

Manufacturing industries

Production and distribution of electricity, gas and water

Construction

Wholesale and retail trade; repair of vehicles, motorcycles, household products and personal items

Hotels and restaurants

Transport and communications

Financial activities

Real estate transactions, rental and provision of services

Public administration and military security; compulsory social security

Education

Health and social service provision

Provision of other utility, social and personal services

Providing housekeeping services

Activities of extraterritorial organizations.

3.1. System of economic performance indicators

The results of economic activity are assessed at all levels of production, i.e. each manufacturer, individual enterprise (organization, institution), by sectors and industries of the economy, as well as at the level of the economy as a whole. A reliable assessment of the results of economic activity depends on the system of indicators used and the methodology for their calculation.

A system of indicators is a set of indicators that are interconnected, calculated on uniform methodological principles, complement each other and are focused on characterizing the results of economic activity.

Result indicators are divided into indicators of gross and final (net) results (they differ by the amount of consumption of fixed capital - depreciation).

Depending on the characterized level of production, indicators are divided into:

microeconomic - describe the results of economic activity at the level of an individual manufacturer;

meso-level indicators characterizing the activities of a sector or branch of the economy;

macroeconomic - reflect the results national economy generally.

A system of basic macroeconomic indicators characterizing the results of the production of products and services, as well as the formation, distribution and use of income:

gross output (GR);

intermediate consumption (IC);

gross value added (GVA);

gross domestic product (GDP);

net domestic product (NDP);

national income (NI);

gross national disposable income (GNIDI);

net national disposable income (NDDI);

gross profit of the economy (GPE);

net profit of the economy (NEI);

gross national saving (GNS);

net national saving (NSS).

In addition to collecting documents for the tax office, when you plan to submit them to register an individual entrepreneur or LLC, you need to prepare for one more nuance. Small, it seems, but important. This is the selection of an OKVED code that should correspond to your activity.

The task seems quite simple, however, upon seeing the list of these same codes, many future and even experienced specialists become confused. And yet, with some complexity, it is possible to determine the required option. You just need to figure out how to do it.

OKVED stands for All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activities. To make the right choice of code for business, an entrepreneur you need to search for it according to the principle “from largest to smallest” in the provided list. Today this is easier to do due to the availability of interactive documents, which immediately after selecting a section are transferred to a subsection, and so on. So how to choose the right one OKVED codes?

How to choose a code?

The hope that someone will help and do everything for you before submitting documents will melt away quite quickly. There are plenty of visitors, and no one will bother with everyone. Therefore, you need to be prepared to think about what exactly is suitable for the chosen activity.

The code is selected according to a special document, which is called OKVED. It contains sections, each of which has subsections, classes... The final form of the code is 10.10.12 (for example). In order not to make a mistake, you need to follow the same algorithm by which it was presumably compiled.

It is difficult to imagine that the compilers first came up with each code separately, and then collected the resulting options into classes, groups and subgroups. Of course, first they created sections, then subsections, and so on until the last point - the view (this is what is called the code).

Sections in the final code are not marked, nor are subsections. They are designated not by numbers, but by letters of the Latin alphabet. For example, section D “Manufacturing” has as many as 14 subsections (DA, DB, DC,...), but most of the rest do not have any. In the end it doesn't work out very well large number options.

It is not advisable to rush to choose the section or subsection that first caught your eye. Upon detailed study, entrepreneurs often discover that their activities fit into several types at once. Sometimes it's the other way around - it can be difficult to find even one. The reason for this is the laconic notes, too brief interpretation sections (you can find it in Appendix A to OKVED).

Procedure

The procedure for selecting codes is as follows:

• First you should select a section/subsection. Here and in the future, follow this principle: gradually cross out everything that doesn’t fit. When working on a computer, it will be convenient to copy the entire list into a notepad and delete the unnecessary ones one by one. This way you won't miss any options.
• After To select a section/subsection, one or several at once, you need to go to the list and select a class and subclass. In this case, it is no longer letters that are used, but numbers that will be displayed in the final OKVED code.
• Having decided on a subclass, move on to groups and subgroups.
• Finally, you need to choose the type of activity. This is a code that is no longer divided into any components. The difference is that the type is a written designation, and the code is digital.

There is a clause in the legislation that allows you to choose a code of 4 digits (previously it was 3, but changes were made in August 2013). This means that you may not reach the 6-digit code, but simply stop at the group. But, if the type of activity requires special permits or licensing, it is better not to risk it and register the type - from 6 digits.

Step-by-step instructions for selecting OKVED codes can be found in the video. Enjoy watching!

How many codes can I choose?

Without at least one code, registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC will not be carried out. But according to the law, it is possible to choose several options, which, it would seem, makes the task easier. The law allows you to have an unlimited number of codes. But even in this case, the first must necessarily be the main one, the main one, and all the others must be additional. Moreover, it is very large number may be fraught with problems with the tax authorities in the future. It is not recommended to choose more than 20-30.

It turns out that even the presence of several dozen codes does not eliminate the need to select one, the most important one. Therefore, the initial work still has to be done, and along the way you can mark those activities that are presumably also suitable.

The optimal choice for LLC

OKVED codes for LLCs, as well as other organizations (OJSC, CJSC) are selected in a similar way. The difference is evident in the paperwork. If you register an individual entrepreneur, then the types of activities (in written submission) are indicated only in the application for state registration. When opening an LLC, they must also be specified in the Charter of the future company.

In the future, annually on April 15, confirmation of the specified main type of activity in the Social Insurance Fund is required. This rule also applies only to organizations.

Moreover, if several OKVED codes are selected, but the main one is not determined, then the FSS reserves the right to choose the one that is the most risky from a professional point of view. A very high tax will be imposed on him. Therefore, it is better to choose the main type of activity yourself.

What choice should an individual entrepreneur make?

The OKVED code for individual entrepreneurs is selected according to general principle, which was described above. The peculiarity is that the legislation does not provide for the mandatory indication of all types of activities when registering individual entrepreneurship. For example, only one type is indicated, and the individual entrepreneur also deals with another. Nothing will happen for this, but there are some nuances:

• they may refuse to lend to a business if the code does not correspond to the activity;
• Problems may arise during licensing and during the transition to UTII.

What are the codes for?

Why are many entrepreneurs careless when choosing a type of activity? It's simple: they don't know what it's for. In fact, you will need the code more than once:

1. when submitting documents to the Pension Fund;
2. when registering with the Compulsory Health Insurance Fund;
3. when opening an account for an individual entrepreneur in some banks;
4. The amount of insurance premiums for payments to employees for occupational diseases and accidents depends on the type of activity.

Also, if you specify an incorrect code, in the future, as your business develops, problems may arise, at least with the re-issuance of documents. Therefore, it is better to take the issue seriously. You will spend no more than one day, but in the end you will have peace of mind in many situations where this code is required.

The video below will help answer the question: “Which OKVED code to choose for LLC and individual entrepreneur?” It also talks about the electronic method of selecting an activity.

Many documents used by modern commercial enterprises indicate OKVED codes. What is their purpose? How can a company owner choose the correct code using the appropriate classifier?

What is the purpose of OKVED?

The widespread, and therefore known not only to narrow specialists, abbreviation OKVED - what is it? This term stands for All-Russian Classifier by Type of Economic Activity. In some cases it is also called a "code classifier" economic activity, which, in principle, is quite logical, since in practice the abbreviation OKVED is almost always used in the context of economic activity codes.

Thus, it includes a list of codes for various enterprises that produce goods and services. In fact, it has the status of a legal act that must be used by enterprises entering into various legal relationships. Which ones exactly?

Legal relations using OKVED

So, we know the decoding of the OKVED abbreviation. What kind of classifier is this from a practical point of view? As we noted above, it includes codes corresponding to certain types of goods and services produced by Russian enterprises. These codes may be useful to companies, in particular:

Directly upon registration with the Federal Tax Service;

In the process of formation various types reporting - for example, statistical, accounting.

A company may have several codes in question. Among them, as a rule, there are relatively small quantity- sometimes even only 1, the main ones, the rest are additional. It will be useful to consider these two ways of using OKVED in more detail.

OKVED codes when registering an enterprise with the Federal Tax Service

So, perhaps the most important type of legal relationship in which the OKVED classifier can be useful - with a breakdown by, in particular, is the registration of a company with the Federal Tax Service as an economic entity. This procedure mandatory from the point of view of the founders of the enterprise starting to conduct a legal business.

To register with the Federal Tax Service, the owner of the enterprise submits documents to the department in established forms, in which it is necessary to indicate the OKVED code corresponding to the activities of the company. If one or another code is indicated incorrectly, that is, the actual direction of the enterprise does not correspond to it, then this may provoke increased attention to the work of the company during inspections, and sometimes the Federal Tax Service refuses to register the enterprise.

In addition, when interacting with the FSS, OKVED can be useful. The law may provide for legal relations between private firms and this department on insurance issues, within the framework of which it is assumed that documents with codes of the enterprise’s economic activity will be transferred to the FSS.

OKVED codes in reporting

The next legal relationship within which codes that reflect activities according to OKVED may be useful is the formation by an enterprise various types reporting. In particular, statistical or accounting.

The fact is that in documents that are generated within the framework of the relevant types of reporting, it is often necessary to indicate these codes in order to accurately identify the economic profile of the enterprise.

OKVED code structure

So, now we know why the OKVED classifier is needed, what kind of source it is, what practical nuances its application. It will be useful to consider the structure in which the code according to the corresponding classifier can be presented. The principles for forming the corresponding indicators are determined by the competent agency - the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia. As some experts note, Russian species OKVED were based on the European classification and are in many ways similar to them in terms of determining lists of economic activities. In particular, the first 4 digits in the Russian OKVED for a specific type of activity generally correspond to those accepted in the international classification.

In turn, other figures reveal the characteristics of a particular segment of the economy in Russia. For example, if we have the OKVED code 01.13.22, its decoding from the point of view of structure will be as follows.

The first 2 digits - 01 - indicate the field of activity of the enterprise. In this case, agriculture. The third number - 1 - indicates the fact that the business entity operates in the field of crop production. The remaining numbers indicate the specific subgroup and type of plants that the enterprise grows - in this case, nuts. They actually correspond to the marked code.

Please note that these codes correspond to OKVED according to document OK 029-2001. We will now look at what it is.

If an enterprise has the question “which OKVED code to indicate in documents within the framework of certain legal relations,” then it is very important to choose the correct classifier of the corresponding codes. The fact is that in Russia now there are actually 3 of them. How should you choose the correct source of codes?

Which classifier should I use?

Indeed, now in the Russian Federation there are 3 OKVED classifiers. What is this feature of legislative regulation?

The first classifier of the corresponding type was introduced into the Russian Federation at the beginning of 2000. We are talking about document OK 029-2001. For a long time, it was used as a source of data when registering enterprises and processing documents within the framework of other legal relations.

Later, another classifier of types of economic activities was introduced - OK 029-2007, but its application is carried out within a rather narrow range of legal relations, which are associated primarily with the collection of various types of statistical data by competent government bodies. In general, it is not used by commercial enterprises.

Subsequently, another classifier was introduced - OK 029-2014, while the first one was not cancelled. For some time, the procedure for their use was rather superficially regulated by law. The departments responsible for tax reporting of enterprises - as the most important legal relationship with the participation of business entities - have developed a rule according to which those companies that registered with the Federal Tax Service before the introduction of document OK 029-2014 into circulation may not take any action to re-register their codes OKVED.

Use of OKVED: regulatory regulation

In turn, when entering new information about enterprises into state registers, it is necessary to use new classifier. In the Letter dated July 11, 2016, the Federal Tax Service provided relevant clarifications.

Thus, the very first classifier is not used in practice, although the data transferred to the Federal Tax Service during the period of its application may be reflected in state registers. If necessary, how can you trace by studying various legal acts from the Federal Tax Service, the relevant department can independently translate the old format economic activity codes into newer ones. Document OK 029-2007 is used quite rarely. Source OK 029-2014 is now used as the main one. Therefore, when registering a company, as well as when changing information about OKVED in the manner that we will consider later in the article, it is necessary to use codes from the appropriate source.

It is recommended that when choosing OKVED codes - the services and products produced by an enterprise can be very different, and its founder is not always able to find the correct match for them in the classifier in question - to seek advice from Federal Tax Service specialists directly when registering the enterprise. Or contact competent specialists in specialized companies.

Why is it necessary for an enterprise to choose a company according to OKVED?

Significance of OKVED: economic classification

First of all, this is due to the fact that competent government bodies, primarily responsible for collecting statistics on economic entities, assign a specific number to the company in other classifiers. For example, in OKPO. This operation is carried out by authorities in order to determine the industry specialization of the enterprise.

OKVED as an indicator of business legality

The next nuance: the company needs to correctly indicate the type of activity according to OKVED so that government authorities can clearly determine that it is engaged in a legal type of activity. The fact is that some types of business cannot be carried out by private firms. If you accidentally indicate the OKVED code for one of those related to these areas of activity, the Federal Tax Service may refuse to register the business.

OKVED and capital

Another reason for the need to correctly reflect OKVED in official documents is that within the framework of some types of activities, fairly large indicators for the minimum authorized capital of an enterprise may be established by law. What does it mean? First of all, if the founder of the company indicates a code corresponding to similar type activities and does not provide a sufficient amount of authorized capital, then the regulatory authorities may apply various sanctions to it.

OKVED and contributions to the budget

Activities under OKVED can be classified in different ways based on the requirements established by law for companies to pay contributions to state funds and the budget. Therefore, in order to avoid increasing financial obligations to the authorities, it is necessary to record the correct codes according to the classifier of economic activity in official documents.

How to find the required code?

Let's consider how, if other options are not available, you can search for the optimal business activity code in existing classifiers. Let’s agree that we have document OK 029-2014 at our disposal.

First of all, you need to determine the main activity of the company based on what it essentially is. In accordance with this parameter, we look for the corresponding section. In the OKVED classifier it begins with Latin letters. For example, the letter F corresponds to such type of economic activity as “Construction”. In this section there are 3 possible groups: 41 - buildings, 41 - engineering structures, 43 - construction work.

Let's agree that our company erects buildings, so we choose group 41. It, in turn, has 2 subgroups: 41.1 - project development, 41.2 - construction. Since we are engaged in the second type of activity, we select the appropriate subgroup. Within it there is 1 specific type of activity with OKVED code 41.20 - construction. We indicate it when registering a company, as well as other documents within the framework of the legal relations in which the enterprise will participate.

How to change the code?

Situations may arise in which an organization will need to change the economic activity code previously registered with the Federal Tax Service. This problem can be solved quite simply. It is necessary to contact the Federal Tax Service again and submit an application there in the prescribed form, which must indicate the new OKVED codes. To submit the relevant application to the department, the owner of the company will also need to present:

Passport;

A fresh extract from the register - which was issued no earlier than 1 month before contacting the Federal Tax Service on the issue of changing economic activity codes;

OGRN certificate;

Constituent documents;

Official decision to adjust activities.

The owner of the company will need to prepare the last 2 documents in OKVED confirmation, information about which is corrected in the state register. Thus, changes to the relevant sources must be made in advance, before contacting the Federal Tax Service on the issue about which we're talking about. Also, when making adjustments to state registers, you must pay a state fee. That is, to the documents listed above, you will also need to add a receipt for its payment.

Choosing business activity codes: nuances

What nuances can you pay attention to when working with the codes in question?

Thus, we note that the legislation of the Russian Federation does not establish prohibitions on indicating types of economic activities that the company does not actually intend to engage in. However, it is advisable to indicate them as additional, rather than basic.

When classifying codes into basic and additional, it is recommended to first of all take into account the amount of income in a particular area of ​​activity. The OKVED code corresponding to the most profitable one should be recorded as the main one.

When using the corresponding codes, it is also desirable to ensure their uniformity within the scope of indication in various documents. For example, if one reporting source records one OKVED, then another that is sent to the same department should reflect a similar one.

An individual entrepreneur needs to choose an activity that will generate the most income. It will be the main one according to OKVED. In addition, you can select additional codes. If problems arise during the determination process, you can use the classifier application (it contains detailed descriptions all types of activities). It is worth noting that some types of activities require licensing.

The physical and/or chemical processing of materials, substances or components with the aim of converting them into new products, although this cannot be used as a single universal criterion for defining production (see "waste recycling" below)
Materials, substances or transformed components are raw materials, i.e. products agriculture, forestry, fisheries, rocks and minerals and other processed products. Significant periodic changes, updates or conversions of products are considered to be related to production.
The products produced may be ready for consumption or may be a semi-finished product for further processing. For example, the product of aluminum purification 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 structures; production of machinery and equipment for which these spare parts and accessories are intended. The production 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 which machinery and equipment these items may include. However, the production of specialized components and accessories through casting/molding or stamping plastic materials includes grouping 22.2. The assembly of components and parts is also classified as production. This section includes the assembly of complete structures from constituent components, produced independently or purchased. Waste recycling, i.e. processing of waste for the production of secondary raw materials is included in group 38.3 (activities for processing secondary raw materials). Although physical and chemical processing may occur, this is not considered part of manufacturing. The primary purpose of these activities is basic waste treatment or treatment, which is classified in section E (water supply; sewerage, waste management, pollution control activities). However, the production of new finished products(as opposed to products made from recycled materials) refers to the entire production as a whole, even if waste is used in these processes. For example, the production of silver from film waste is considered production process. Special maintenance and repair of industrial, commercial and similar machinery and equipment are generally included in group 33 (repair and installation of machinery and equipment). However, repair of computers and household devices is listed in group 95 (repair of computers, personal items and household items), while at the same time, car repair is described in group 45 (wholesale and retail 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. Typically, manufacturing involves the processing of materials to produce new products. Usually these are completely new products. However, determining 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 (removing oysters from shells, filleting fish) not carried out on board a fishing vessel, see 10.20;
- pasteurization of milk and bottling, see 10.51;
- leather dressing, see 15.11;
- sawing and planing of wood; impregnation of wood, see 16.10;
- printing and related activities, see 18.1;
- tire retreading, see 22.11;
- production of ready-to-use concrete mixtures, see 23.63;
- electroplating, metallization and heat treatment of metal, see 25.61;
- mechanical equipment for repair or overhaul (for example, automobile engines), see 29.10
There are also types of activities included in the processing process, which are reflected in other sections of the classifier, i.e. they are not classified as manufacturing industries.
They include:
- logging classified in section A (AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY, HUNTING, FISHING AND FISH CULTURE);
- modification of agricultural products classified in section A;
- preparation food products for immediate consumption on premises, classified in group 56 (activities of public catering establishments and bars);
- beneficiation of ore and other minerals, classified in section B (MINERAL MINING);
- construction and assembly work, carried out on construction sites, classified in section F (CONSTRUCTION);
- activities of breaking down large quantities of goods into small groups and secondary marketing of smaller quantities, including packaging, repackaging or bottling of products such as alcoholic drinks or chemicals;
- sorting solid waste;
- mixing paints according to the client's order;
- cutting of metals according to the client’s order;
- explanations for various goods classified under section G (WHOLESALE AND RETAIL TRADE; REPAIR OF MOTOR VEHICLES AND MOTORCYCLES)

What is OKVED

Before sending a package of documents to the specialists of the territorial tax service for registration, future individual entrepreneurs and LLC founders must have a clear idea of ​​what types of commercial activities they are going to engage in. This is important because when entering information about a newly created enterprise into state registers, OKVED codes are of decisive importance for tax authorities.

If you decipher this abbreviation, it will sound like this:

All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activities.

Already from the title it is quite clear what the essence of this document is: each type of commercial work or service in Russia has its own digital code. To enter classification codes into the title package, you do not need to create any special documents; it is enough to list them in or Limited Liability Company, which is filled out in a strictly established form.

OKVED is equally applicable to all enterprises and organizations, regardless of their legal form.

That is, CJSC, individual entrepreneur, LLC reflect the same digital codes in their title documents.

The procedure for selecting classification ciphers is mandatory for all commercial companies and has no exceptions.

What you need to know and how to accurately select OKVED codes

When studying and entering OKVED digital codes into the registration application, many novice entrepreneurs unknowingly make a number of mistakes. In order to help avoid them, we’ll talk in detail about what to rely on and in what order to act when choosing codes from the all-Russian classifier.

1. Not all codes are equivalent when entered into constituent documents enterprises or individual entrepreneur. The first code chosen is considered the main one, since it must correspond to the type of activity that is the main focus of the enterprise. All other codes play an additional role and are of a secondary nature. Every organization must have at least one code from OKVED; without it, registration with the state is simply impossible;
2. All actually and formally possible types of economic activity carried out on the territory of Russia have their own special digital designation, which is included in OKVED. In turn, OKVED consists of sections and subsections, groups and subgroups. When choosing digital ciphers, you should go from large to small. That is, you need to start by defining the scope of activity, and gradually, through sections and groups, reach any specific type of activity. At the same time, you need to try to select codes so that they correspond as much as possible and reflect the essence of the actual work performed and services provided;
3. The digital code from OKVED allowed for registration must consist of at least 3 characters. 3 numbers imply a subclass of the section and, as a rule, they are chosen by those entrepreneurs who do not want to limit their actions within this section in any way. However, it is still preferable to indicate narrower ones in terms of practical application four-digit ciphers;
4. If suddenly a newly created organization plans to engage in those works or services that, under Russian law, are subject to mandatory licensing or require special permission, it is best not to act at random, but to consult with specialists. They will help you more accurately designate the name of a particular type of activity and select the correct digital code, which will protect you from all sorts of troubles in the future.

Attention! If problems arise in selecting OKVED codes, it is enough to study Appendix “A” to the classifier. It is an excellent assistant and contains quite detailed explanations for all types of activities.

Subtleties of choosing ciphers from OKVED

We talked about the main points that you should pay attention to when choosing codes from OKVED. Now about some of the nuances of choosing types of activities based on digital ciphers from the classifier.

• When choosing OKVED codes, future businessmen, in particular the founders of an LLC, should remember that there must be a 100% coincidence of the types of activities specified in the application and those indicated in the charter, otherwise tax officials can easily refuse registration. But even if the initial stage of registration with the tax service is completed successfully, problems may well arise when opening a bank account, since bank employees check documents no less carefully;
• The law does not in any way limit the number of OKVED codes included in the application for registration of an enterprise. Therefore, businessmen often enter not only those specific types of activities that they actually plan to engage in, but also those that they envision only in theory. The accumulation of codes from the classifier included in title documents entails a number of dangers. Let's give just one fairly common example: some types of activities may be subject to a special UTII tax regime, and in such cases, tax authorities may require an entrepreneur or organization to submit separate reports on them. Thus, experts advise holding back and not adding more than two dozen OKVED codes to the constituent documents and, when choosing them, carefully study the features of each type of activity, including from the point of view of tax legislation;
• It is extremely important to correctly understand and interpret the names of the types of activities listed in OKVED. Otherwise, an incident may arise in which the most necessary and relevant type of activity will not be included in state register for this organization or individual entrepreneur. The consequences of such an incident are unpleasant. Firstly, if necessary, it will be impossible to obtain a license, and secondly, it will be impossible to switch to UTII, which operates according to strictly defined types of activities at the local and municipal level.

Important! Entering the correct codes from OKVED into the registration documents at the stage of registering an enterprise with state registration is of great importance. If tax specialists discover an error, they will certainly issue an automatic refusal to register. At the same time, the inaccuracy can be corrected, but this will entail new financial and time costs.
