New OKVED codes. Why are OKVED codes needed?

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 presented by the Ministry of Economic Development of the 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 section includes:
- the use of plant and animal natural resources, including the cultivation of cereals, the maintenance and breeding of animals;
- obtaining wood and other plants, animals or animal products on a farm or in a natural habitat

This section includes:
- extraction of minerals occurring in nature in the form of solid rocks (coal and ore), in a liquid state (oil) or in a gaseous state (natural gas)
Mining can be carried out by various methods, such as underground or open pit mining, well drilling, seabed mining, etc.
This section also includes:
— additional activities to prepare raw materials for sale: crushing, grinding, cleaning, drying, sorting, ore beneficiation, coal beneficiation, natural gas liquefaction and solid fuel agglomeration
The listed types of work are usually carried out by economic entities that are themselves involved in the extraction of minerals and/or are located in the mining area. Extraction of minerals is classified in groupings according to the type of the main extracted mineral raw material.
Groupings 05 and 06 include:
— extraction of fuel and energy minerals (hard coal, brown coal (lignite), oil, gas);
Groupings 07 and 08 include:
– mining of metal ores, various minerals and non-metallic minerals
Some of the technological processes referred to in this section, in particular processes related to the extraction of hydrocarbons, may also be carried out by specialized enterprises on behalf of third parties as production services described in group 09
This section does not include:
— processing of extracted/extracted minerals, see section C (Manufacturing industries);
— use of recovered materials without further processing for construction purposes, see section F (Construction);
- bottling of spring and mineral water from springs and wells, see 11.07;
- crushing, grinding and other processing of certain soils, rocks and minerals not associated with mining operations, see 23.9

This section includes:
— 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 determining production (see waste processing below)
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 structures; 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 of plastic materials is classified under 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 management, clean-up 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 this is a completely new product. 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, see 15.11
- sawing and planing of wood; wood impregnation, see 16.10;
- printing and related activities, see 18.1
- tire retreading, see 22.11;
- manufacture of ready-to-use concrete mixes, see 23.63
- electroplating, plating and heat treatment of metal, see 25.61
- mechanical equipment for repair or overhaul (e.g. motor vehicle engines), see 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.

- wholesale and retail trade (i.e. sale without transformation) of any kind of goods, as well as various types of services accompanying the sale of goods. Wholesale and retail trade are the final stages of the distribution of goods. This group also includes the repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles. Selling without transformation is understood to mean standard activities (operations) associated with trade, such as sorting, classifying, arranging goods, mixing (mixing) goods (for example, sand), bottling (with or without prior washing of bottles), packaging, splitting bulk lots, repackaging into smaller lots for distribution, storage (refrigerated or frozen products)
Group 45 includes:
- all activities related to the sale and repair of cars and motorcycles, while groupings 46 and 47 include all other activities related to sales
The main difference between grouping 46 (wholesale) and grouping 47 (retail) is based on the predominant type of customer

The legal or institutional status is not decisive when classifying the type of activity in this section.
This means that activities classified in other sections of the classifier are not included in this section, even if they are carried out by state authorities and local governments. For example, state regulation of activities in the field of education is included in this section, while the learning process itself is not included in this section (see section P).

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 the selection of 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 2020, 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 given a 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 of OKVED 2 sections looks like:

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

One of the main changes this summer was the entry into force of new ones (OK 029-2014 (NACE Rev. 2), which were prepared back in 2014. In this connection, apply from 11.07.2016 upon state registration of a company or individual entrepreneur you only need new OKVED 2016 with decryption, and (OK 029-2001 (NACE Rev. 1)) you no longer need to use. For the old codes, a transitional period has also been established, which will last until the beginning of 2017. Innovations were approved by the corresponding order of the Federal Tax Service, so be careful , and choose the type of activity to create a new business according to the new OKVED 2016. We will talk about the main points regarding the update of the all-Russian classifier of types of activity in our article.

What are OKVED codes for?

When creating a new business unit, be sure to decide on the economic activity that you plan to conduct. At the same time, you can choose several of these types at once, including the mandatory main one, as well as additional ones, for example: provision of services, catering, trade (retail and wholesale), rental of real estate, production of goods, materials, etc. It is important at the same time remember that some types of economic activity require obtaining special. licenses or permits, as well as compliance with certain conditions, for example, for lending, auditing, pharmaceutical production and many others.

You can directly search for the new OKVED 2016 with decryption on a special service of our website.

What has changed in OKVED 2016

The new OKVED 2016, when compared with the previous version of the classifier, you can see that quite significant changes have been made: the number of sections of types of activity has increased (it was from A to Q, and now from A to U), many sections have changed names, and types activities have changed codes, etc.

Since a transitional period is provided for the old codes until the beginning of 2017, a special key has been developed for this by the Ministry of Economy. development. This will help you find the code that is new in the old code or type of activity, if it has changed.

Do I need to change the old OKVED codes

As we have already written, now under the state. registration, it is necessary to indicate the new OKVED 2016, but the question arises, what about those companies that already exist, because they have the old OKVED. The Federal Tax Service has already spoken out about this situation and promised to bring the already entered codes into line with the new OKVED 2016.

Where OKVED 2016 is indicated

Directly entering the type of activity according to OKVED is mandatory in the application for registration of a new business, as well as in the Charter (for legal entities). So, in particular, for organizations, a statement is used in the form No. Р11001, the codes are entered on the "I" sheet.

As for the IP, then in the application in the form No. R21001 OKVED 2016 codes are recorded on the corresponding sheet "A".

In both cases, you must first indicate the main activity and its code, and in the next section, additional (or several types at once).

According to the current procedure, the OKVED code can be indicated at least four digits, before the start of the subgroup of the type of activity. There are two methods for entering codes: generalized and specific. Generalized - this is when you indicate four-digit codes and several at once in the application and / or the Charter, so as not to make changes in the future. The specific method is that you introduce one type of specific activity when you are clearly sure that you will be doing only it. More convenient, of course, is a generalized method, since with it a company or individual entrepreneur can have more options for households. activities. With a specific method, especially if you specify more than 4 digits of the code, it is more likely that you will have to make changes, even with a small change in activities.

Choose new codes for your business on our website.

Once a firm is officially established, during its existence, it may want to change or add activities, and this will require changes. Therefore, changes are also made through the approved application, as well as the Articles of Association, if necessary for legal entities. persons.

Please note that from the moment the new OKVED codes (NACE Rev. 2) come into effect, indicate the old ones at the state. registration is impossible, but if these requirements are not met, the state body may refuse to enter or, for example, an LLC.

OKVED (All-Russian classifier of types of economic activity) is used for state registration of individual entrepreneurs (IP) and legal entities.

In 2015, the OKVED reference book OK 029-2001 (NACE rev. 1) with deciphering the codes is used. It was adopted by the Decree of the State Standard of Russia dated November 06, 2001 No. 454-st. On January 1, 2016, OKVED 2 (version OK 029-2014 (NACE rev. 2)), approved by the order of Rosstandart of January 31, 2014 No. 14-st.

OKVED structure

The reference book consists of 17 sections marked with Latin letters (A-Q) and 16 subsections (CA, CB, DA-DN). They are broken down into smaller classes, subclasses, groups, subgroups and species, represented as two to six Arabic numerals separated by dots.

The code for grouping types of economic activity has the following structure:

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

Selection of OKVED codes

When registering a new organization, the question arises of selecting types of economic activity. It is important to know that all of them are selected strictly according to OKVED codes.

To find the right code, you first need to decide on the scope of the organization (for example, textile production), then find the necessary section or subsection (for example, DB). Further delve into the class, subclass, group, subgroup and type until a specific type of economic activity is determined.

  • The selection of the code does not depend on the form of ownership of the organization: they are identical for IP, LLC, CJSC.
  • The selected code must consist of at least 4 digits, i.e. be the name of a group (XX.XX), subgroup (XX.XX.X) or species (XX.XX.XX).
  • In constituent documents, you can specify an unlimited number of codes (preferably no more than 20 pieces).
  • When registering, one main code (of the core activity of the organization) and additional (non-core occupations or activities in the near future) are indicated.
  • When choosing types of economic activity, it should be remembered that some of them require licensing.
  • At any time, you can make changes to the list of codes (add or remove).

Instruction

To facilitate the selection of the type of economic activity, a search is organized by name or by code. It is also possible to add positions of interest to those saved for further viewing or printing codes with decryption.
