OKATO code structure
The OKATO code includes from 8 to 11 digits. Their number depends on the classification level at which the object is located. There are three levels:
- The first includes republics, territories, regions, cities of federal significance, autonomous regions, autonomous districts that are part of the Russian Federation.
- The second level includes objects subordinate to the first: autonomous okrugs of territories and republics; regions of republics, territories and districts; cities of regional significance and urban-type settlements.
- The third level is objects of regional subordination: intra-city areas, cities of regional significance, villages of regional subordination and village councils.
The first and second characters of the code mean objects of the first level, characters from the third to the fifth - the second level, from the sixth to the eighth - the third. To reflect rural settlements in the code, characters from ninth to eleventh are used. Detailed guidelines for the compilation and structure of the code are approved by Gosstandart Resolution No. 413.
Decoding the OKTMO code
The code is formed from 2 sections:
- Municipal entities.
- Settlements within the Moscow Region.
The codes of the first section consist of 8 positions, the codes of the second - of 11 positions:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 |
Let's look at what is encrypted in each of them:
- positions “1 – 2” - coding of the subject of the Russian Federation;
- positions “3 – 5” - code of the municipal district or district;
- positions “6 – 8” or “6 – 11” - locality code.
Therefore, knowing the OKTMO code, you can establish: the region, region, district or city, settlement where the legal entity or individual entrepreneur is registered.
Application of OKATO
The OKATO code is used for tax accounting and reporting. The tax authorities need it to determine in which administrative territory the organization is located and where it pays taxes. OKATO allows state statistical bodies to take into account and systematize economic entities, with its help government agencies:
- automate information exchange;
- sum up the collection of payments in each region;
- determine the standard of living of citizens;
- Welfare coefficients are recorded.
For us, OKATO is important as a document requisite. Until 2014, it was used in reporting, payment documents for tax purposes, tax returns, and government forms. But since January 2014, it was replaced by the OKTMO code, which now replaces OKATO in documents. It was introduced to clarify the classification; the OKTMO code specifies the locality in which the company operates.
If instead of OKTMO in the document details you indicate the OKATO code, then using the correspondence tables the tax authorities will determine the OKTMO code and credit the payment to it. But this will lead to the transfer of funds to another budget, then you will need to submit an amendment.
Organizations registered in 2014 and later are issued an OKTMO code upon registration. And each obsolete OKATO code corresponds to an OKTMO code.

Moscow belongs to the first level of the OKATO classification, coded in the first two characters - 45. For organizations located in Moscow, the OKATO code includes 11 characters and displays the region, city, district, street, house and apartment number.

Why is OKTMO needed?
The code identifies the place of registration of taxpayers - legal entities and individual entrepreneurs. It is indicated in all financial, accounting, tax and statistical reports, in payment orders and receipts for the transfer of payments. Coding helps to systematize interim and final reporting by region and analyze financial flows. This data is used to make forecasts.

What is OKTMO
The administrative-territorial division of the Russian Federation is hierarchical, each structure has its own level of subordination. Russia is a federal state, divided into regions, territories and republics. Each subject has territories divided into municipalities. As of January 1, 2021, there are 21,501 of them. Each of them is divided into:
- municipal areas;
- urban districts (without intra-city and with intra-city division);
- inner city areas;
- for cities of federal significance - intracity entities;
- urban and rural settlements.
Each territory is assigned a specific code. All data on territorial division are systematized in the all-Russian classifier of municipal territories OK 033-2013 (approved by Order of the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology No. 159-st dated July 14, 2013). Until 2014, such information was grouped under the OKATO code, but in 2014, due to changes in the administrative structure of the state, a new list was adopted. There are a lot of codes in it, the easiest way to find out the OKTMO of an organization is by TIN.
The OKTMO directory consists of nine volumes, each of which corresponds to a specific federal district:
Volume number in the directory OK 033-2013 | Name of the federal district |
1 | Central |
2 | Northwestern |
3 | Southern |
4 | North Caucasian |
5 | Privolzhsky |
6 | Ural |
7 | Siberian |
8 | Far Eastern |
9 | Crimean |
How to find out the OKTMO code from OKATO
Since OKATO codes are no longer needed to fill in the details, it is worth knowing how to determine the OKTMO code based on OKATO.
For this purpose, a table of code correspondence has been developed, it is posted on the official website of the Ministry of Finance and is regularly updated https://www.minfin.ru/ru/ismf/eiasmfrf/. Let's figure out how to use it:
- The second column contains the name of the municipality or locality.
- Column 4 shows the OKATO code as of November 1, 2013, column 5 shows the currently valid code. If your OKATO code was valid before 2013, you can find the current one.
- Column 6 contains the current OKTMO codes for populated areas.
- The following is the data that relates to the new OKTMO code, that is, republic, city, district, village, etc.
On the Federal Tax Service website there is an electronic service “Find out OKTMO”. By entering the OKATO code or the name of the municipality, you can find out the current OKTMO.
