Where can I find OKVED-2018 codes with breakdowns by type of activity?
The current OKVED-2018 with decodings by type of activity was approved by Rosstandart order No. 14-st dated January 31, 2014, has the official number OK 029-2014 (NACE, rev. 2) and is mandatory for use from January 1, 2017. For brevity, it is also called OKVED 2. In the period from the date of approval to the year of mandatory application, it could be used on a voluntary basis.
For information on how OKVED 2 data is linked to the codes contained in the classifier that preceded it, read the material “The Federal Tax Service explained how OKVED 2 codes were assigned.”
The OKVED-2018 code classifier with decoding has a number of differences from the original version of this document, since changes were repeatedly made to it during 2015-2017. The latest of them were made at the end of December 2021 and came into force on March 1, 2018, extending their validity to the period beginning in 2014. Thus, OKVED-2018 with decoding by type of activity in its final version has an edition dated December 21, 2017, created by Rosstandart orders No. 2046-st and No. 2048-st dated this date.
The 2021 OKVED 2 reference book with decoding of codes is a rather voluminous document. It is divided into lettered sections that correspond to the main areas of possible areas of activity:
- Agriculture;
- mining;
- provision of energy resources;
- water supply, drainage, waste disposal;
- construction;
- trade;
- transportation;
- hotel services and catering;
- communication services;
- financial and insurance activities;
- real estate transactions;
- scientific, technical and certain types of professional activities;
- administrative;
- public administration, security and social security;
- education;
- healthcare;
- culture, sports, entertainment;
- other types of services;
- household;
- extraterritorial structures.
Within these sections, activities are divided into classes that are numbered throughout the entire directory and detailed as necessary. This detailing ensures the creation of a digital OKVED code. Section letter designations are not used in this code.

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 the application for registration of an individual entrepreneur or a limited liability company, which is filled out in a strictly established form.
| For reference | |
| Abbreviation | OKVED 2 |
| Designation | OK 029-2014 |
| Introduction | 02/01/2014 (Order of Rosstandart No. 14-st dated 01/31/2014) |
| Change | 12/01/2017, No. 14 (Order of Rosstandart dated 09/08/2017 No. 1045-st) |
| In English | Russian Classification of Economic Activities |
Why do we need OKVED-2018 codes with decoding?
The type of activity that an officially registered business entity is engaged in is not only significant for its characteristics, but also makes it possible to:
- justify the use of the selected special regime;
- take advantage of tax benefits;
- establish one or another rate of premiums for accident insurance.
Indication of the type of activity is required in most official reporting documents, including those submitted to tax authorities, extra-budgetary funds, and Rosstat.
However, the types of activities carried out in the Russian Federation are not only quite diverse, but sometimes they also have a rather cumbersome verbal description. That is why it was necessary to create a directory on them, and this directory not only included a general list of types of activities, systematizing them, but also established the correspondence of each type to a specific digital code. That is, a voluminous verbal description was replaced by a set of numbers from 2 to 6, which made it possible to make the information reflected in reporting documents compact.
The reference book itself is called the All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activities, or OKVED for short.
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.
- Not all codes are equivalent when entered into the constituent documents of an enterprise or individual entrepreneur. The first code chosen is considered the main one, since it must correspond to the type of activity that is prioritized at 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;
- 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;
- 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 specify four-digit ciphers that are narrower in terms of practical application;
- 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.
OKVED and insurance premiums
The main type of activity of an individual entrepreneur influences the rate of insurance premiums for injuries. This is the short name for contributions for insurance of employees against accidents at work and occupational diseases, which all employers are required to pay.
To determine the insurance rate, all activities are divided into classes depending on the risk it poses for workers (Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated December 30, 2021 No. 851n). For example, retail trade is included in the safest activity group, while coal and ore mining has the highest risk. The higher the occupational risk class, the higher the rate of insurance premiums for injuries. This means that the larger amounts individual entrepreneurs will have to pay to the Social Insurance Fund. To determine the tariff, it is necessary to timely confirm the professional risk class of the main activity.
In conclusion, a few words about violations of the rules associated with activity codes. If an individual entrepreneur carries out operations that do not fit into his OKVED codes, he may face a fine under Article 14.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses in the amount of 5 thousand rubles. But there may be other consequences - disputes with the Tax Service. For example, the Federal Tax Service can charge an entrepreneur with a preferential regime personal income tax at a rate of 13% on income from transactions that he carried out without the corresponding OKVED code. Inspectors believe that since there are no codes, it means the citizen received income outside the scope of entrepreneurial activity. To avoid such troubles, we recommend that you take a responsible approach to choosing codes and, if necessary, add them in a timely manner.
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 the state register for a given 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 for 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.

It is necessary to indicate new codes and within a few days, tax inspectorate specialists will make these amendments to the organization’s title documents and state registers of individuals and legal entities.
