The OKVED codes for the organization should be chosen by moving from general sections to those classes, subclasses, groups and subgroups of the types of activities that are planned to be engaged. At the same time, there are no restrictions on the number of codes indicated during registration.
Any organization, individual entrepreneur, upon registration, must indicate the types of activities that they plan to engage in. For the classification and systematization of these types of economic activities, the All-Russian Classifier (OKVED) is used. It is in it that you need to look at the names and digital codes of specific types of business activities. After registration, an organization can also always change the types of its economic activities, add or exclude some codes and names, for which a special application is submitted to the tax authority.
How to find the required OKVED codes?
The All-Russian Classifier is a fairly large document, therefore, without knowing its structure, the search for activities of interest will take a lot of time. In total, OKVED includes 17 sections, each of which has its own meaning. Within each section, activities are subdivided into classes, subclasses, groups, subgroups. The minimum unit is a specific type of activity, it is indicated by six numbers. Classes are designated by two numbers, subclasses by three, groups by four, and subgroups by five. In the application when registering an organization, it is necessary to indicate at least three numbers for each type of activity, that is, you can choose subclasses or more fractional designations. The choice of subclasses gives great freedom in the future activities of the organization, since new areas of activity may appear in the process of constant work.
How to determine a specific OKVED code?
When filling out an application for registration of an organization or registration of changes made to the register, codes in OKVED should be determined by following from general to specific. Initially, it is necessary to determine a specific field of activity, which will allow you to choose one of seventeen sections. After that, you should carefully study all the classes in this section, find a suitable class, investigate its subclasses. We can stop at this, since the statement allows the indication of three-digit subclass codes. If you wish, you can also continue the study of OKVED, which will allow you to more specifically define your own types of activities, fix them in the register. But it should be remembered that the indication of specific types of activities or subgroups (five or six digits) significantly limits the organization in the subsequent change of directions of work, since the data in the registry will constantly need to be changed.
