Selection of OKVED codes for SP. Information about entrepreneurial activity codes for individual entrepreneurs according to the all-Russian classifier


When registering their activity, an individual entrepreneur must indicate its code in the application. It depends on what is supposed to be done. OKVED codes for individual entrepreneurs are contained in the All-Russian classifier. It is updated frequently, so it is important to always check its relevance and validity period. The classifier is used for statistical analysis and accounting. When choosing OKVED for individual entrepreneurs, it is advisable to follow simple rules, and then the process will take a minimum of time.

Why is it important to choose the right code for the classifier?

The choice of OKVED for individual entrepreneurs is a very important point. Based on the code, data on the type of activity is entered into the state register (EGRIP). The tax authority sends this information to the FSS for registration and determining the size of the insurance rate. Thus, the amount of the contribution that the entrepreneur will pay as insurance for employees against accidents and occupational diseases depends on the correctness of the chosen code.

The legislation does not prohibit carrying out activities that are not included in the list during registration. But it is better to think over such a possibility in advance and make an appropriate mark. When making changes (adding or deleting codes), you will need to pay a state duty. The process will take some time to complete. In a situation where changes need to be made as soon as possible (for example, when concluding a contract, the existing code does not correspond to the activity being carried out), such a delay will be very inconvenient.

Important information to consider when choosing

The classifier also consists of seventeen sections that correspond to classes of activities. The OKVED code consists of six digits. When choosing, it is allowed to use a four-digit number. The structure of the code can be described as follows:

  • YY.YY.YY - type of activity,
  • YY.YY.Y - subgroup,
  • YY.YY - group,
  • YY.Y - subclass,
  • YY - class.

The most important point in determining the code is the relevance of the classifier. At the moment (in 2015) there are three OKVED. We list them in order, starting with the oldest:

  • OK029-2001,
  • OK029-2007,
  • OK029-2014.

When registering, individual entrepreneurs must use OK029-2001. Its validity has been extended until January 1, 2016. When determining the actual code, you can use a manual search or use a special service. The classifier consists of approximately 73 pages. For this reason, a manual search will take quite a long time.

How to choose OKVED?

When determining the most appropriate code, you can use simple guidelines. The main one is the principle of "from the general to the particular". Let's describe the most convenient way. The choice begins with the field of activity (wholesale or retail trade, fishing, agriculture, etc.). The appropriate partition is then determined. After that, the entrepreneur needs to select the subsection, the class and subclass of interest, as well as the group and subgroup. And, finally, to determine directly the type of activity - its code.

An individual entrepreneur needs to choose an activity that will bring the greatest income. It is she who will become the main one according to OKVED. In addition, you can select additional codes. If problems arise during the identification process, you can use the classifier application (it contains detailed descriptions of all activities). It is worth noting that licensing is provided for some types of activities.

When using common Internet services, OKVED codes for individual entrepreneurs can be selected automatically. To search, you must enter a keyword for the intended type of activity ("retail", for example). Based on this, a list of codes is compiled, from which you need to choose the most suitable ones. The functionality allows you to insert the generated list immediately into the application and print it. In a short time, an entrepreneur can pick up an exhaustive list of OKVED codes, reflecting the main aspects of his activity.

Independent determination of the OKVED code, the scheme of which is described above, is a simple process, but takes some time. For a visual representation of the order of work with the classifier, here are a couple of examples for finding a specific code:

  1. An individual entrepreneur decided to start manufacturing hats and other headwear. We define section - D, since the indicated activity is production (processing in the classifier). We look at the subsection - DB - textile and clothing production. We select the production of clothing - class 18. From the list we determine the most appropriate code. They will be - 18.24.4. This is the OKVED code for activities related to the production of hats.
  2. The activity of the entrepreneur will be related to the retail trade of paints. Again we turn to the classifier and look for a suitable section. Suitable - G - retail and wholesale. We define the class - 52. Subclass - 46 (retail trade in hardware). The required code is 52.46.2.

Currently, the service for choosing OKVED for individual entrepreneurs, which is provided by companies, has become widespread. They offer it in combination with IP registration. For a certain amount, the required number of codes is selected depending on the types of activities intended for conducting. An entrepreneur does not need to independently search for the current OKVED and choose. He is provided with a ready-made package of documents, all that remains is to start working.

What difficulties can arise with the wrong choice of code or its absence?

The obligation to indicate information contained in state registers is enshrined in the law of August 8, 2001 under the number 129-FZ (fifth article, paragraph 1). Within three days from the start of a new activity, it is necessary to inform the tax office about the change in the code. Failure to comply with the instructions provides for liability, this is stated in Article 25 of Law 129-FZ of August 8, 2001. Fines are contained in Article 14.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, in this case, a recovery of up to five thousand rubles is possible.

But it is worth referring to paragraph 5 of Article Five, in which OKVED codes are excluded from the list of information required for submission. It follows that the IP does not face administrative punishment. The main inconvenience of the entrepreneur is associated with the implementation of activities for which the inconsistency or absence of the code will be a serious hindrance. Among the most common problems that may arise, it is worth highlighting the following:

  • refusal of the tax authority to refund VAT on the basis of the absence of an activity code in the USRIP, which was declared for deduction,
  • payment of inflated insurance premiums (“for injuries”) - if the entrepreneur actually carries out a type of activity corresponding to a lower class of professional risk than the main code specified in the USRIP, then payments will be accrued based on the main one; in this situation, it is necessary to promptly make changes and apply a more favorable OKVED in a specific situation,
  • loss of customers or a profitable contract - when making a deal, companies request a package of documents from new counterparties, which includes an extract from the USRIP; in the absence of the OKVED code for individual entrepreneurs, the possibility of further interaction becomes less likely due to the high risk of refusal (for the company) to deduct VAT in the future,
  • receiving a fine for failure to submit certain types of reporting - for some codes, periodic reporting is provided.

The use of codes relevant for the current year, and most importantly, corresponding to the activities of an individual entrepreneur, will greatly simplify interaction with the state and other representatives of the business sector. It is important for an individual entrepreneur to keep abreast of the latest legislative updates and constantly analyze how they affect his business. Timely notification of a change in the type of activity will help to minimize possible payments on insurance premiums. A competent organization of your own business guarantees the entrepreneur to receive the maximum possible income with an adequate investment of effort.

Video - "Adding IP activities"

Each individual entrepreneur encounters OKVED codes for the first time when filling out an application for state registration in this capacity. It has a special section for them, in which you need to specify at least one code. A formal approach to this issue may turn into problems in the future. Therefore, you need to pay as much attention to filling out this section as possible.

What are OKVED codes, where are they used and why are they needed

OKVED codes are digital designations corresponding to one or another direction of application of forces for business in the All-Russian classifier of types of economic activity. State structures use these designations mainly for the needs of statistical accounting, systematizing with their help data on entrepreneurs, enterprises and organizations according to the occupation of those.

You can find the current list of OKVED on the Internet

As soon as an individual entrepreneur becomes an employer and he has an obligation to make insurance premiums for employees, including contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for industrial injuries, the rates of these contributions are determined by the main OKVED code.

The OKVED codes, or rather, the classes behind them, also affect the possibility of applying individual entrepreneurs of different tax regimes.

How to choose the appropriate OKVED for the main and additional activities

In the application for state registration of an individual entrepreneur, codes for one or more types of activities must be indicated. The one that will be the very first is considered the main one by default, all the rest are additional. At the same time, the law does not limit the entrepreneur in the specification of codes. And if their set ends up as a hodgepodge in which, for example, the activities of travel agencies, tutoring and taxi services alternate, there is nothing illegal in this “mixture of bulldog and rhinoceros”. Indeed, one person may well combine such diverse areas of activity.

The law allows an individual entrepreneur to be both a tutor and a taxi driver

As for the choice of the main code, in this capacity it is recommended to focus on the type of activity from which the future entrepreneur expects the most significant cash receipts. It is often difficult to predict this, but nothing terrible will happen if the original plans do not come true in the end. The main code can always be changed, and, except in cases where it directly affects taxes and insurance premiums, it is unlikely that this circumstance will arouse the interest of regulatory authorities.

OKVED structure

OKVED-2 consists of 21 sections, in which various fields of activity are grouped according to profiles. For example, agriculture, construction, education, etc. Each section includes one or more classes, which corresponds to a two-digit numerical value. There are 99 such classes in total, the numerical values ​​of the first nine start from zero.

Classes, in turn, combine one or more subclasses, and those - into groupings.

Let's consider all this clearly using the example of taxi services popular with IP. This type of activity belongs to section H "Transportation and storage". This section combines five classes, in particular, separate classes are provided for different modes of transport, in particular:

  • water,
  • air and space
  • land and pipeline.

Class 49 "Activities of land and pipeline transport", in turn, is divided into five classes:

  • freight transport by rail,
  • passenger rail transport,
  • activities of other land transport,
  • trucking and pipeline transport.

This is what the current version of OKVED looks like in electronic form

Inside subclass 49.3 "Activities of other land transport" taxi services are hidden - code 49.32.

But if an individual entrepreneur plans to engage in cargo transportation, he has a direct road to subclass 49.4 "Road transport activities and transportation services." And there are two groups at his service:

  • 49.41 "Activity of road freight transport",
  • 49.42 Transportation services.

According to the explanations accompanying each grouping, the first option is good for intercity transportation, and the second - for apartment, office and country moving. If the future entrepreneur intends to do both, he can safely take both codes. If you intend to confine yourself only to crossings, 49.42 will be enough, and 49.41 will be enough for a truck driver who intends to work on his own truck in intercity directions. And when plans include the services of both passenger and cargo taxis, it makes sense to take such codes

  • 49.32 (taxi services),
  • 49.42 (cargo transportation).

Using the same examples, it is easy to understand what each digit in the OKVED code means:

  • the first two, in our case 49, denote the class of activities;
  • the third, in our case it is three or four - a subclass within a class, it turns out 49.3 for taxis and other passenger transport by land, excluding the railway, or 49.4 - cargo transportation by road;
  • finally, the fourth digit, in both our cases it is a deuce, clarifies the type of activity belonging to a grouping within a subclass, so as a result, combinations of four digits are obtained - 49.32 and 49.42.

The OKVED code entered in the application for registration of an individual entrepreneur or for amendments to the list of these codes in the USRIP must have at least four digits. But if for some reason you want to cover the entire class or subclass corresponding to the intended type of activity, it is enough to replace the missing numbers with zeros. For transport activity it will be 49.00. Another thing is that if you plan to use special tax regimes tied to specific types of activity, for example, a single tax on imputed income for freight transportation or a patent system for taxis, you need to be as specific as possible. And the expediency of IP with such profiles of inclusion in the types of activities of railway or air and space transport services is doubtful.

The process of selecting specific OKVED codes

To select the appropriate codes, you need to use the current version of the classifier.

The first difficulty that a future entrepreneur faces when choosing a new code is that his eyes run wide. After all, the classifier has about 1600 positions. But shoveling all this considerable amount is not at all necessary. It is clear that a future IP who plans to open a hairdresser has nothing to do in sections, for example, about agricultural or manufacturing industries, mining or public administration, military security and social security.

But inside class 96 "Provision of other personal services" for him there is option 96.02 "Activities of hairdressing and beauty salons."

If the future IP intends to open a hairdresser, it makes no sense for him to look for a suitable code in the mining section

Entire classes of OKVED-2 are devoted, for example, to software development and consultations in this area, activities in the field of information technology, activities in such areas as retail, real estate and education, and are completely placed in special sections where I don’t want to choose. So whoever seeks will always find.

In the case of a hairdressing salon, however, it will not be superfluous to look at the horizons that open up at first glance. If the plans are limited to a set of standard haircuts and shaves, the code provided will be sufficient. But when it is supposed to sell hair and skin care products to customers along the way, it does not hurt to add code 47.75 “Retail trade in cosmetic and personal care products in specialized stores” and / or 47.19 “Other retail trade in non-specialized stores”, and if it is planned to equip in there is also a solarium in the room, code 96.04 “Sports and recreational activities” will not be superfluous.

Another difficulty with the selection of OKVED codes is that although the current version of the classifier was approved in 2014, and adjustments were made to it in 2016, before it was made the only one used (earlier ones also operated in parallel), from life it lags behind and does not fully cover the entire spectrum of available professions. For example, it does not provide a separate code for copywriting and / or rewriting.

However, there is nothing to worry about in this. If it is not possible to find a code in the classifier that exactly corresponds to the intended occupation, it is enough to limit ourselves to the options closest to it. For example, for copywriters, journalists and writers, this set of options may be suitable:

  • 63.11: Data processing activities, provision of hosting services and related activities.
  • 63.91: Activities of news agencies.
  • 90.03: Activities in the field of artistic creation.

How are tax regimes and OKVED codes related?

Separate OKVED codes and designated types of activity directly affect the possibility of applying a particular tax regime.

There are no restrictions on this criterion only on the general system, which is characterized by the highest tax burden, as well as complex and cumbersome reporting.

The use of a simplified system is not possible for the following types of activities:

  • production of tobacco products (OKVED code 12.00);
  • production of motor vehicles (OKVED code 29.10);
  • implementation of pawnshop activities (OKVED code 64.92);
  • casino activities (OKVED code 92.11);
  • activities of slot machine halls (OKVED code 92.12).

The right to pay a single tax on imputed income (UTII) gives a limited set of activities listed in Art. 346.26 of the Tax Code (TC) of the Russian Federation, and the application of the patent system (PSN) - 63 types of activities for which it is possible are listed in Art. 346.43 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Specific types of activities from among those listed in the relevant articles of the Tax Code for UTII and PSN, for which these regimes are applied in a particular locality, tax rates and the cost of a patent for them are determined by the local authorities.

The condition for the payment of the unified agricultural tax of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation determines the share of income of individual entrepreneurs from activities in the field of agricultural production from 70%

The condition for the payment of the unified agricultural tax (ESKhN) Art. 346.2 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation determines the share of income from activities in the field of agricultural commodity production, including those classified as auxiliary by OKVED, at least 70% of the total income of an individual entrepreneur or organization.

An individual entrepreneur in some cases is simultaneously engaged in cargo transportation (OKVED codes 49.41 and 49.42), provides intermediary services in the sale and rental of real estate (OKVED 68.31) and rents out his own apartment (OKVED code 68.20). This gives him the right to use up to three taxation systems at the same time: general or simplified in real estate activities, UTII in the field of cargo transportation and patent when renting an apartment. Naturally, provided that his business meets other criteria for the application of each of these systems, and the legislation of the region where he operates provides for the application of UTII and PSN to his respective activities.

How many OKVED codes can be indicated in the application

Legislatively, the number of OKVED codes that can be indicated in the application for registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC is not limited - at least list the entire current version of the classifier, in which there are about 1.6 thousand of them. The relevant sections of the registration forms provide space for 57 codes. But, if this is not enough, you can print and bind the required number of sheets of this section into the form.

For practical reasons, however, it's best to start by limiting yourself to exactly the types of activities that you plan to actually engage in.

What you need to know about OKVED-2 when registering IP and LLC (video)

Does the number of OKVED codes affect the amount of insurance premiums

The number of OKVED codes recorded in the USRIP for a particular entrepreneur does not play any role in determining the rates of insurance premiums. Only the code that the individual entrepreneur himself chooses as the main one matters - and then only when he becomes an employer.

The more harmful the working conditions, the higher the contributions for injuries. But this applies only to the main OKVED

In this case, the main type of activity determines the rate of contributions for industrial injuries and occupational diseases: the higher the risk class to which this type of activity is assigned, the more you have to pay. But this applies only to the main OKVED. And the composition of the remaining codes and their number do not play a role. If the individual entrepreneur does not have employees and he does not plan to hire them, this moment does not concern him at all.

Responsibility for conducting activities not according to OKVED

As soon as the entrepreneur actually began to conduct a new type of activity, the law starts the countdown of the period during which he must officially reflect this fact by including a new one in the list of his OKVED, corresponding to the direction of the application of forces, to which he has begun to develop.

He has exactly three days to apply for an additional code.

There is no threat of a prison for activities not according to OKVED, but a fine and disqualification rely

If the individual entrepreneur does not meet the deadline and is convicted of this, for the first time he will face a fine of 5-10 thousand rubles. And those who fall for the same violation a second time may be disqualified, that is, deprived of the right to entrepreneurial activity for a period of one to three years. All these sanctions are spelled out in Art. 14.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (CAO) of the Russian Federation.

In the current legislation there is not a word about punishment for activities not according to OKVED. However, law enforcement practice shows that this violation is regarded as an untimely communication to the state of information about oneself, for which punishment is provided.

How to make changes to your OKVED codes

To do this, an individual entrepreneur must contact the tax office, to which he submitted documents for registration as an entrepreneur, and submit an application in the form P24001 for amendments to the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (EGRIP). In this way, an individual entrepreneur can not only add new codes, but also exclude from their list those that have lost their relevance, to conduct activities for which he has ceased, and change the main OKVED code.

The title page of the R24001 form, used when changing the list of their OKVED codes

If he does it in person, he must also present his passport when submitting documents. Some tax inspectorates may also require a certificate of assignment of a TIN. In other cases, and the individual entrepreneur is also entitled to submit documents through an attorney whose authority is confirmed by a notarized power of attorney, or by mail, the signature of the individual entrepreneur on the application and the attached copies of the documents must be notarized.

State duty is not charged when changing OKVED codes.

Documents can be submitted directly to the tax office or to the multifunctional center of state and municipal services that provides registration services to business entities.

If everything is in order with the application, changes must be made within five days from the date of receipt of the tax package of documents, and the individual entrepreneur is given a document confirming this fact - an entry sheet in the USRIP with a new list of codes.

The selection of OKVED codes is very difficult only at first glance. However, this obstacle on the way to registering your own business turns out to be easily overcome. And the search for the most suitable code can even turn into an exciting activity.

How to open an IP competently, taking into account all the requirements of the legislation in force in our country? What is needed to open a sole proprietorship so that the registration of your business is successful and the first time? All these questions concern every businessman who decides to start his own business.

An individual entrepreneur is the simplest form of running one's own business from all currently used in Russia. In this regard, the registration of IP does not cause great difficulties. Most of those who are thinking about how to open an IP subsequently successfully manage on their own without involving intermediaries.

First you need to register an IP

Refusals in registration are very rare and can occur in two cases, one of which is incorrectly completed documents for registering an individual entrepreneur, and the second - who wants to open his own business turned out to be a civil servant. And if in the second case the refusal should be unconditional, then in the first case it is possible to eliminate the mistakes made and try again. But in order to save yourself from wasting time, it is better to prepare documents for registering an individual entrepreneur without errors and shortcomings (for this, in fact, you will not need anything but utmost care). Common in both cases is only one unpleasant circumstance - no one will return the state duty.

According to the law, a person acquires the status of an individual entrepreneur only after his data is entered in the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (EGRIP). Currently, IFTS 46 for entrepreneurs living in Moscow and MIFTS 15 for those living in St. Petersburg have the authority to register. It is from them that you can now get the fullest advice on what is needed to open an IP. The statement that it is possible to obtain an IP certificate at the place where the main activity is carried out is not true.




To visit the tax office, you will need the application itself (form P21001), a copy of the passport (can be removed at the inspection) and a receipt for payment of the state duty. If you plan to send all the documents for registering an individual entrepreneur by mail, then you need to be firmly convinced that the filling is correct, because the application will have to be certified in a notary's office. After the completion of all procedures, the applicant is issued a receipt for receiving the documents, and he goes to wait for the deadline for issuing the final documents indicated in it. Usually it takes five days to wait, and after that you can receive papers and calmly begin to develop your business. In the recent past, a newly-minted entrepreneur had to register with extra-budgetary funds, the statistical office, and so on. Now all such troubles are a thing of the past, accounting is carried out automatically and the only concern is to correctly indicate the address to which correspondence will be sent.

How to choose OKVED codes yourself

The most significant part of the registration application contains a column on the choice of the type of economic activity (Select OKVED codes yourself). A lot depends on this point in the future of the business. Most start-up entrepreneurs have a fairly clear idea of ​​​​what they will do in the future. In this case, and if you have the All-Russian Classifier of Economic Activity Codes (OKVED) at hand, it will not be difficult to select the appropriate code and enter it in the space provided for this application. Moreover, the first of these codes says in all instances that this type of activity is the main one, and the subsequent ones will be additional. By the way, the status of the main one is not an obstacle to employment in other types. OKVED codes for individual entrepreneurs are similar to the statistics codes that are used when registering legal entities.

The existing misconceptions associated with these codes should be debunked. The opinion is especially widespread, including among accountants, that only those types of activities that are indicated in the registration documents can be engaged. This is only partly true. Russian legislation does not prohibit working in a particular industry only on the basis of the absence of a code. But problems here will definitely arise in three cases:

  • if a decision is made to engage in a licensed type of activity, but the code is not entered;
  • if a decision is made to switch to the UTII tax regime for this type;
  • if a decision is made to engage in foreign economic activity and just in this direction.

In addition, the banking sector cannot be discounted, where serious difficulties may arise in obtaining a loan due to the primitive absence of OKVED codes for the type of business being financed. Of course, fixing, or rather supplementing with the necessary data, will not require much time and effort, but you can suffer serious losses due to the failure of the transaction for such a seemingly insignificant reason.

According to the current legislation, you can specify OKVED codes for individual entrepreneurs in any quantity, but you should not get carried away with the endless enumeration of codes. It also may not do a very good job; among them there may be a licensed species and it will be necessary to provide reports after a certain period. Thus, the maximum number of codes is determined by common sense, but the minimum is determined by law: at least one, but must be specified.

The codes listed in OKVED for individual entrepreneurs should be chosen by simply moving from general to particular. That is, having first determined the scope of activity, for example, the section "Agriculture" should go down one level to the group "Crop production", then to "Crops ...", and, finally, the digital designation of the lowest level will be the desired code.

It would not be superfluous to say that one should try to match as accurately as possible the correspondence to the type that is selected. It is especially scrupulous to approach the choice of code if an individual entrepreneur has a firm intention to engage in licensed activities. Any inaccuracy here can cost extra nerves and money. It should also be taken into account that, under the current legislation, it is required to indicate OKVED codes with at least four digits, which is associated with the specifics of electronic document management.

The coding of the economic activity of the entrepreneur is required when registering as an individual entrepreneur. Such an activity identification system is necessary to inform government authorities what type of activity a businessman will be engaged in. At the time of registration, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of a suitable OKVED, so that in the future, when processing other documents in the tax authorities, there will be no problems and shortcomings.

OKVED codes definition - what they are used for

OKVED is a federal classifier of activities of persons as entrepreneurs and LLCs. When registering a new legal entity or individual entrepreneur, the form established by tax legislation is applied. When registering in the form P21001, the form contains a separate column for the codifier, where the future entrepreneur must indicate all codes suitable for his activities.

It is important to consider that there is no legal limit on the number of specified codes. This means that a businessman, when registering a new person, can indicate as many OKVED codes as required.

Established activity qualifiers apply to:

  • registration of entrepreneurial activity;
  • tax registration in the department of the Federal Tax Service at the place of registration of the individual entrepreneur;
  • determination of the necessary tariff used in the calculation of deductions to insurance services for injuries at the workplace;
  • execution of documents and reports, where it is required to indicate activity registration codes;
  • registration of quotas in case the entrepreneur hires foreign citizens and work.

It is important to note the main codifier. In the list, the numeric definition of the activity of the primary type must come first. After it, additional OKVED are indicated. The first code should maximally reflect the field of activity that the entrepreneur plans to engage in.

Regulations

Regulates the provision on the mandatory OKVED tax legislation. The codifier itself is contained in a document from the Ministry of Economic Development OK 029-2014 (NACE Rev. 2). Its edition continues to operate in 2018. Additionally, the following regulatory legal acts directly or indirectly relate to the codifier:

  1. Letter from the Ministry of Economic Development N D05-730 of 2010.
  2. Letters from the Ministry of Finance N 03-11-06/3/38 of 2010 and N 03-11-06/3/249 of 2009.
  3. Resolution of the State Standard N 454-st of 2001.
  4. Order of RosTechRegulirvoania N 329-st of 2007.
  5. Letter from the Federal Tax Service N ChD-6-25/1075 dated 2007.

Depending on the type and classification, third-party legal acts responsible for a specific code in the registry may also be affected. When registering activities, entrepreneurs should clarify which codes are suitable for their activities.

The structure of building code in the classifier, general rules

The structure can be represented by types of economic activity of economic entities. The entire document is a list with subsections, where the thematic areas of economic activity are located, which an entrepreneur can be engaged in on the territory of the Russian Federation.

After IP registration, these codes will be linked to this form of business. In turn, the entrepreneur can make changes and supplement the indicated codes from the list.

Specific codes

When registering a person, entrepreneurs can add OKVED for specific areas. Legislatively, the document presents all types of possible activities. There are for example:

  • elimination of pollution consequences;
  • provision of temporary residence;
  • activities related to libraries, archives, museums.

You can apply for about 99 directions in entrepreneurship. Registration of a new type of activity of an individual entrepreneur requires, depending on the specifics of the direction, additional permits and documents.

What to do if there is no suitable code in OKVED

When an application is being drawn up, a situation may arise that there may not be a suitable OKVED. Opening an additional type of IP activity or the main one requires specifying a codifier. If it is not there, you need to choose a more similar in meaning.

Documents for adding OKVED must be filled out completely. When registering an individual entrepreneur, it is not allowed to skip fields indicating codes. The verification of declarations will also depend on the specified number of the direction of activity. In case of erroneous indication or not indication of the code, the entrepreneur may face bureaucratic problems.

How to choose the right OKVED codes for individual entrepreneurs, is there any importance of the first

The main activity should be registered immediately. As mentioned above, the first code will be defined as the main line of business. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a more suitable one in meaning. It should be assigned carefully, as an incorrect code may cause further difficulties when filling out reports.

In addition, you need to include additional codes if necessary. Usually no more than 20 directions are indicated.

How to choose the main activity

IP form for opening OKVEDshould indicate the main activity.

It is important to pay attention to the encoder. Of the 99 areas presented, it is important to note the one that best suits the main area of ​​activity.

This activity is notable for the fact that the main income will come in this direction. Therefore, when marking the code, it is important to clearly understand how the IP will have the main income.

Which OKVED codes should be indicated additionally and how many of them can be indicated

Additional codes are indicated in quantity for 1 type of activity no more than 57 pieces. Exactly as much can be contained in the application form, which is filled out during registration by the entrepreneur. Additional codes are adjacent to the main ones.

Entering these codifiers is not a mandatory requirement. If an individual entrepreneur is engaged in 1 type of activity, he will be recognized as the main one. Only those directions in which the entrepreneur will receive income are indicated. Under each number in OKVED there is a definition that contains a detailed description of additional areas.

Pros and cons of additional OKVED codes

You can change the codes at any time if necessary. To do this, you need to apply again to the registration authorities. The positive aspects include the ability to engage in several areas at once with one IP, which generate income.

It is the responsibility of each individual entrepreneur to notify the authorized state bodies about what kind of activity he carries out.

When carrying out the procedure for registering his own enterprise, an individual entrepreneur must enter into the state register data on the area in which he will work. The specified information implies the choice of the code of the all-Russian classifier of types of economic activity.

What is OKVED

OKVED is a system functioning in accordance with the following principles:

  • Distribution of activities in accordance with their classification, followed by coding.
  • Storage, processing and issuance of information about the activities of the IP.

How to choose OKVED

The correct and competent choice of OKVED is a rather difficult task for the reason that there are various types of business activities that are not only similar, but also interconnected. First of all, an individual entrepreneur needs to determine as accurately as possible the type and scope of activities that he will carry out.

OKVED codes consist of a digital combination. To select them, do not complicate the task and enter as large a numerical value as possible, it is better to limit yourself to a few digits.

When choosing codes, it is necessary to indicate the main type of business activity, which will directly bring the main income. About those that are secondary, that is, additional, it is not necessary to enter information at all. The specified silence about such types of private earnings is not prohibited by state legislation and does not entail a violation of any regulatory legal acts.

However, there are exceptions to such cases, when entering information about additional types of work carried out in parallel with the main one is mandatory.

These include the following types of cases:

  • If an appropriate state license is issued for the activities of an individual entrepreneur.
  • If, in accordance with the specified and registered code, a transition was made to the payment of taxes under the ENTI system.
  • If the specified type of work, bringing a certain fixed income, is of a foreign economic nature.

Important! It is necessary to take into account the fact that the absence of this or that type of activity among the IP in the list of OKVED may become the basis for refusal to participate in the tender, the public procurement procedure, or the issuance of a license.

Also, an important point when choosing an OKVED code is that if it is necessary to obtain a loan from a bank for an activity that is not codified, the bank reserves the right to refuse. There is a high probability that the loan will fail. Accordingly, it is necessary to foresee this aspect in advance.

In addition, you should not include in the OKVED list those that you do not plan to deal with in the near future. Indeed, among them there may be those who carry the risk of increased injury. And the higher the level of this risk, the greater the amount of tax you have to pay.

The right choice of code

In order to choose OKVED correctly, it is necessary to act in accordance with the following generally accepted rules, which will somewhat simplify the procedure:


When carrying out the codification procedure, one should choose one main direction that brings the enterprise the greatest income. How can this information be calculated if the activity of the enterprise is chaotic? In this case, the best option would be to calculate the profit that was received by an individual entrepreneur for a certain period of time, for example, for a year.

Further, this figure should be divided in accordance with the directions by which it was obtained. If, for example, it is a private timber processing firm that additionally provides services such as cargo transportation, furniture production, and the construction of houses from appropriate materials, it should be taken into account from which type of work performed the largest amount of finance was received. It is this type of activity that should be indicated as the main one.

Quite often, entrepreneurs are interested in a question of this kind, what is the impact of the number of codified activities on the total amount of taxes, the payment of which is mandatory. The number of taxes is directly related to the risk of injury at the enterprise. That is, the higher the risk of any injury to employees or employees of a private enterprise, the greater the amount of tax will need to be paid to its manager.
