What is it regulated by?
In accordance with the Federal Law of 08.08.2001 No. 129-FZ “On State Registration of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs”, codes of types of economic activity (OKVED) are part of the information on the state registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, determined by legal entities. individuals and individual entrepreneurs independently and are declared to the tax authorities during state registration.
By Order of Rosstandart of January 31, 2014 N 14-st, the All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activities (OKVED 2) OK 029-2014 (NACE rev. 2) was adopted with an effective date of February 1, 2014, with the right of early application in legal relations, arising from January 1, 2014, and the establishment of a transition period until January 1, 2021 and the subsequent cancellation of OKVED OK 029-2001 (NACE rev. 1).
What are they and what are they for?
Rosstat website statistics codes are digital indicators that are mandatory for legal entities when they are registered, and are also assigned to individual entrepreneurs. All-Russian classifiers determine the place of each element in the structure, this streamlines the system and allows the data to be used not only by government officials, but also by everyone.
Codes from Rosstat are used in Russia in the following cases:
- The need to find out about the type of taxation, the presence or absence of benefits.
- Generating a regular report.
- Confirmation of your activities in the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation, if you need to prove that the reduced tariffs are still relevant.
- Identification.
- Filling out payment documents.
Each digital combination contains a number of information about the organization/enterprise and they are entered in accordance with the requirements of the document or government agency.
When are statistics codes required?
Enterprises are not required to provide an OKVED letter. Providing an Information Letter on registration in the Statregister of Rosstat (another name is the Information Letter from the State Statistics Committee on registration in the Unified State Register of Pools of Economics, statistics codes) is not mandatory:
- at the bank when opening a current account (letter of the Central Bank dated October 27, 2011 No. 011-31-1/4394);
- in off-budget funds (Federal Law of December 23, 2003 No. 185-FZ),
- in the customs authorities (letter of the Federal Customs Service dated December 19, 2011 No. 01-18/62041),
- when licensing,
- to participate in tenders,
- during audits.
Notifications
To receive the necessary codes from Rosstat in a separate notification, you can make a request. This feature is available both online and offline, depending on the user's preferences. But usually the online method is faster.
You need to find the Classifier codes and go to the page where they will relate to a specific company. There should be a button about exporting or preparing for printing. It is more convenient to save the file in Microsoft Excel format. As a result, a record of the codes, as well as details about each of them, will remain in the device’s memory.
It should be mentioned that a personally printed notice does not require official registration. It is a tool that provides reference information without requiring letterhead or stamping.
Notifications from the federal government agency issued upon registration of an organization/enterprise have documentary force. They need to be saved and updated according to Rosstat requirements.
How to find out statistics codes by TIN?
Companies registered before 2013 received a separate notification from Rosstat with a seal and signature on a form that contained all statistics codes , including OKVED. Later the codes were divided.
OKVED codes began to be indicated in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities extract. They are not included in the statement automatically. First, the company goes through the state registration procedure and indicates its types of activities in the Charter and Application for Registration. You can write as many codes as you like; there are no legal restrictions. After state registration, the regulatory authority issues an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs with the selected codes (the ones you indicated in the application). Thus, we receive OKVED during company registration. They can be changed by submitting a corresponding application to the regulatory authority.
You can find out the codes by TIN:
- OKVED - through an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, using any service, for example a tax service.
- OKPO, OKATO, etc. - through the Rosstat service.

Body code in statistical reporting in electronic form: what is it for?
Sending reports to Rosstat electronically involves transmitting completed forms over the Internet, the provision of which is required by the agency.
The code in question is not placed on the form itself, but is indicated in the interfaces of the program used to send the statistical form. This code allows the program (or the receiving Rosstat server) to correctly address (or forward) a document sent by the company, that is, transfer it through online channels to the TOGS (Territorial Body of State Statistics) that is responsible for collecting data on enterprises in the region or the municipality where the reporting firm operates. When sending statistical forms by mail, the corresponding code is usually not needed, since the form is sent to the address of a specific TOGS. But when sending electronic reporting, in most cases you cannot do without it.
How can I find out this code?
We described what reports and when to submit to statistics here.
Why is OKPO needed?
Russia introduced mandatory coding of enterprises in July 1994. The introduction of OKPO pursued the following goals:
- Compilation of a complete register of organizations legally operating in the country and subject to inclusion in other databases and statistical forms.
- Methodological improvement of accounting. It is important for government agencies to know the number of entities engaged in a particular area of activity.
- Streamlining the financial and tax document flow of enterprises and simplifying the performance of fiscal control functions. The reporting organization code allows you to accurately obtain information about the tax debts of any entity.
- Creation of an interdepartmental information field on a nationwide scale.
The most important functional area of the classifier is statistics. Using OKPO, finding out the statements of an enterprise or individual entrepreneur, its address and other details is not a problem.
Composition of the OKPO code
When concluding contracts, it is never superfluous to check the OKPO of the individual entrepreneur acting as the counterparty, or the employer company: you should make sure that the code is reliable.
How to conduct a thorough analysis will be discussed a little later, but for starters, you can simply look in the documents at the number of numbers indicated in the column. For individual entrepreneurs there should be ten categories, and for all other business entities and legal entities (LLC, CJSC, NPO, etc.) - eight.
The type of activity according to OKPO is determined by the first two digits. All subjects are conditionally divided into four main categories:
- Resource.
- Commodity-productive.
- National economic.
- Administrative and managerial.
The following numbers (5 for a legal entity and 7 for an individual entrepreneur) represent an automatically generated serial number. It is assigned at the time the registration certificate is issued.
The last number is used to verify the correctness of the code. It allows you to avoid typos and malicious forgery. It should be noted that it is very difficult to determine the reliability of OKPO independently, quickly and without appropriate software. The calculation is made using a complex algorithm for each digit, that is, a coefficient by which an individual digit is multiplied. The numbers are then added and divided by 11, and the remainder is the reference value.
This method is used by specialized structures. Ordinary citizens and business employees can access data in easier ways. Its source is the All-Russian Classifier of Technical and Economic Information (OK TEI).
The OKPO number of a separate division of a large enterprise is assigned separately. This does not apply to branches of companies that do not have their own legal entity status.
All-Russian Classifier of Enterprises and Organizations
Until an OKPO code is assigned, the activities of an organization or individual entrepreneur cannot be considered legal.

Definition of TOGS
TOGS code is the original number assigned to the territorial body of the FSGS.
Defined as XX-YY, where XX is the code of the region (subject of the Russian Federation), Y is the site. In 80 subjects (including federal cities) a single Rosstat code of the XX-00 form is used. In the Krasnodar Territory, Kemerovo, Moscow, Rostov, and Saratov regions, there are several divisions of State Statistics (different codes) that control individual areas of the region.
In the Moscow region (excluding the city of Moscow) there are 50 departments of State Statistics, each of which is assigned its own code. You must select from the list on the Mosoblaststat website msko.gks.ru. If the subscriber does not find his area in the list of those presented, he should use the “universal” recipient code 50-00.
Rostovstat (Rostov region) mainly collects information through accredited telecom operators. A legal entity must select one from the list, enter into an agreement with him and register. The FSGS territorial unit code will depend on:
- place of registration (district, city);
- operator.
For legal entities using “Orbita”, “Courier”, “Rosta”, “Certifying”, the TOGS code will always be 61-01. All others rely on the list on the Rostovstat website.
Krasnodarstat (Krasnodar Territory) receives and processes information from legal entities registered in the region and the neighboring Republic of Adygea. Statistics are mainly transmitted through telecom operators. 3 recipient codes are used:
- 23-00 - for respondents in the cities of Sochi and Krasnodar;
- 23-99 - for those registered in other localities of the region;
- 01-00 - for legal entities from the Republic of Adygea.
Respondents from the Saratov region, regardless of location (district, city), submit statistical reporting with the help of telecom operators or independently through a web form on the FSGS website, using a single addressee code 64-05. The same applies to legal entities belonging to the Novokuznetsk department of Rosstat of the Kemerovo region: when submitting electronic reports, they use code 42-00 (and not “their own” 42-01).
Respondents of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol can send electronic reports according to federal rules from mid-2021.
To do this, Rosstat has entered into agreements with several operators (they can be selected from the list). TOGS code for Crimea is 91-00, for Sevastopol - 92-00.
Some regions are united under the control of one division of Rosstat - the regional Directorate of the Federal State Statistics Service. For example, respondents from the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Arkhangelsk Region send reports to a single UFSGS. Despite this, they provide different codes:
- 29-00 is used by legal entities registered in the Arkhangelsk region;
- 83-00 is used by respondents from the Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
Organizations and individual entrepreneurs from St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region submit reports to the Federal Tax Service Petrostat. In this case, the former address the forms to code 78-00, the latter - to 47-00. A similar situation has developed in the Federal State Statistics Service Tyumenstat:
- 72-00 code is provided for respondents from the Tyumen region;
- 86-00 - from Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug;
- 89-00 - from the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
