Organization statistics codes are an important component of the financial activity of an enterprise. Without them, doing business becomes impossible.
Having a TIN in hand, an entrepreneur can find out his statistics codes in several ways at once, choosing the most convenient one - from a personal meeting with the State Statistics Service to extracting it through online forms. It is risky to delay this, so you should take care of receiving a notification in the first days of the company's activities.
What are statistics codes?
When registering new documents, the tax inspectorate transmits information about an individual entrepreneur or legal entity to the State Statistics Service (sometimes referred to as Rosstat) - the Federal State Statistics Service. There, the data is processed and special digital values are assigned to LLC / IP. They are designed to identify an organization / individual entrepreneur in the Statregister and classify their activities according to several criteria:
- OKPO, All-Russian classifier of enterprises and organizations. Divides LLC / IP by type of activity. The main code with which the lists of entrepreneurs are created. If you need to send data about a legal entity / individual entrepreneur to another department, the State Statistics Service uses this code.
- OKTMO, All-Russian classifier of territories of municipalities. OKTMO codes reflect the territorial affiliation of the registration address.
- OKVED, All-Russian classifier of types of economic activity. It is necessary to change the tax regime of LLC / IP and establish benefits. Required in any financial statement. The entrepreneur chooses this code on his own when registering an LLC / IP.
- OKFS, All-Russian classifier of forms of ownership. Requested when generating statistics and creating a taxation policy.
- OKOPF, All-Russian classifier of organizational and legal forms. Like the previous one, it is necessary to create statistics on business entities and regulate the economy.
- OKOGU, All-Russian classifier of public authorities and administration. It characterizes who founded the organization - most often for business structures, it means division into an institution by an individual, a legal entity, or jointly by them.
If an entrepreneur does not have statistics codes, he and his employees will not be able to:
- open a current account (LLCs can use it to pay taxes by bank transfer, and individual entrepreneurs can conclude contracts for an amount exceeding 100 thousand rubles);
- send a tax report;
- submit financial statements;
- create a payment order;
- use the remote banking system, such as "" and others;
- engage in export or import;
- open a branch in case of expansion of the enterprise;
- change the place of registration of the individual entrepreneur or the legal address of the enterprise (its location);
- change the name, surname and patronymic of the individual entrepreneur or the name of the LLC.
Among the less common cases, for which statistics codes should also be prepared, is a sample of the State Statistics Service. Large businesses are required to regularly report on their economic performance, and owners of small and medium-sized businesses are selectively notified by Rosstat about the need for such a document. Since the reporting of Rosstat affects financial activities, it is impossible to do without statistical codes.
How to get statistics codes?
Depending on the amount of free time, an entrepreneur can choose several different ways to receive statistical codes. Almost all of them require minimal resources. The most popular request for documents is the organization's statistical codes for TIN - 4 ways to obtain which will make the life of an entrepreneur easier.
By TIN online
Until 2017, using the online form, it was only possible to leave an application for registration with the relevant territorial authority. Today, there are no previous problems with how to find out statistics codes by TIN on the Internet:
- Go to the service of the State Statistics Service statreg.gks.ru. A special form will open.
- In the "Type of notification" field, the legal entity leaves the existing item, and the individual entrepreneur should select - "Notification for individual entrepreneurs, heads of peasant (farmer) households."
- Enter the TIN and control code and click "Search". In the results, the name of the organization will appear, below which there are two buttons. By clicking on “OK TEI Codes”, the document will immediately start loading.
- All codes are contained on the first page of the document, and their decoding is on the second.
Also, this functionality helps to implement. The next way to get codes will require significantly more time and effort.
In the organ of Rosstat
A map on the official website gks.ru will help you find a territorial body in a particular subject of the Russian Federation. When you click on the name of the desired region, data on the territorial body of Rosstat will appear at the bottom of the page.
In order to apply to this body on the spot, it is necessary to prepare a list of copies of documents. They do not need to be notarized. Individual entrepreneurs provide scans of their passport, TIN, certificates from the USRIP and Registration Certificate. Organizations - scans of the TIN, Certificate of state registration of a legal entity, extracts from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the Charter and the passport of the director of the company. If necessary, a power of attorney is added.
Important: at the first application, the notification is issued free of charge, for all subsequent ones you will need to pay, therefore, after receiving it, it is better to make several copies of the document.
At the tax office
If the work of the inspection takes place using electronic interaction between departments, the representative of the Federal Tax Service will see the statistics codes when registering documents. He is not obliged to inform you of this fact, nor to print out the codes themselves, so you cannot demand them in the tax office. However, no one forbids politely asking if the employee will have the opportunity to print or tell you the codes right away.
Contacting a law firm
Firms that specialize in providing legal services often help out managers who do not want to face possible problems on their own. The transfer of authority to collect documentation and receive codes costs money ( on average about 2000 rubles), but helps to save time and get the result after a day.
Important: each company has its own prices and subtleties of work, the choice is up to the entrepreneur. It would not be shameful to check the certificate of a lawyer dealing with a problem if there are any doubts about his qualifications.
Summing up
LLC / IP cannot exist without statistical codes. This information is the main one when submitting reports and conducting financial transactions. There are six types of statistics codes that classify the organization according to various criteria, determining its place among others.
It is most convenient to find out statistics codes online, for this you only need a TIN. When registering an enterprise, they can be asked at the tax office, but they have the right to refuse. It is possible to contact the local Rosstat body on your own, but in order not to waste time, it is recommended to resort to the services of law firms.
Many businessmen and even accountants ignore the obligation to put down statistics codes in the appropriate forms, treating these numerical indicators with disdain.
This is due to a misunderstanding of the serious role that these codes play in the identification of business entities.
What it is?
There are a large number of static codes, and each group has its own purpose and its own set of numerical indicators. But those that are necessary in entrepreneurial activity are represented by only a few types, in particular:
- - the code of the territory of the municipality (now it is universally used simultaneously with, meaning the administrative division of territories). It is assigned to a specific territory and extends its effect to all enterprises located within its boundaries.
- — code of the type of economic activity. It is chosen when registering a business or when making changes to the activities of an existing company. An organization can choose one or more activities that it plans to engage in. She must fix her choice in the application for state registration or for making changes to the Register.
- OKFS— code of the form of ownership. All entrepreneurs and legal entities are assigned the same indicator of 16, denoting private property.
- OKOPF— code of organizational and legal ownership. Characterizes the legal person or individual entrepreneur and additionally specifies the legal form of the legal entity. For example, LLC, CJSC, etc.
- - code of enterprises and organizations. It characterizes a specific organization or entrepreneur, taking into account all the above indicators. It changes in case of a change in the type of activity of the company, its organizational and legal form, etc. In the event of liquidation, it cannot be used for assignment to another taxpayer for 5 years.
All of these indicators are basic and should be in any enterprise. They are not arbitrary, but are approved by the regulations of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as Rosstat).
Each code has its own purpose and is affixed in reporting forms or indicated when making settlements with the budget for tax transfers and other transactions.
Purpose
First of all, using the main statistical codes (OKTMO, OKVED, OKFS):
- the identification of the taxpayer is carried out according to a number of criteria: by its territorial location, by the types of activities in which it is engaged, by the form of ownership and the organizational and legal form in which it implements its work;
- processing of data on the property and financial position of the company for the reporting or tax period, on the financial results received by it and transactions performed, regarding the territory where its activities are carried out;
- planning and administration of taxes accrued to taxpayers for activities carried out in a given territory and subject to receipt by the local or federal budget. And this, in turn, affects the formation and execution of the budgets themselves;
- establishes the right for the taxpayer to apply certain types of benefits, exemptions, reduced tariffs and rates for taxes and contributions;
- the correct distribution of the received revenue by type of activity for tax purposes is carried out: the OKVED codes contain not only the name of the activity, but also its characteristics. This allows the payer himself to correctly identify the expenses incurred and the financial results obtained in specific areas of his work. For what? For example, to:
- maintain their right to a special tax regime;
- receive a benefit on contributions to the FSS of the Russian Federation and according to.
Where can they be found?
There are three main sources for this:
- The code qualifiers themselves. For example, the cipher of the legal form can be found in the All-Russian Classifier of Legal Forms. To properly use these documents, you need to know exactly what and how to look for. Otherwise, there is always the risk of misidentification. This is especially difficult to do if it is not about your own enterprise, but about someone else's company.
- Rosstat website. On this resource, you can get free access not only to classifiers, but also to those codes that are assigned directly to a particular company.
- Notification of Rosstat of the Russian Federation. It must be provided to the taxpayer within 5 working days from the date of its registration. But, as a rule, this notification rarely comes to anyone. Therefore, it must be requested, given the following:
- if the receipt of this notification is primary, then it is free of charge;
- if repeated - for a fee.
The territorial structure of Rosstat does not oblige the taxpayer to come for the specified document.
Ways to receive notification
When applying for codes to the territorial division of Rosstat, you should know exactly the TIN codes, or PSRN. If the taxpayer is going to come for paper himself, then it is recommended to take copies or originals of these certificates with you and additionally:
- entrepreneur - passport;
- representative of the organization - a power of attorney on its behalf.
These additional documents may or may not be requested.
A request for notification can be sent to Rosstat in another way, without visiting its territorial structure. For example, by email or through the website. But in this case, you should immediately specify the method of delivery of the certificate:
- at the actual or legal address of the company;
- by fax;
- by email or otherwise.
Detailed instructions on how to find these indicators are presented in the following video:
Getting codes via the Internet
Initially, there are two important points to note:
- the notice of codes printed from the Rosstat website is valid;
- it does not reflect OKVED, since it is indicated in the extract from the Register, issued after the registration of the business.
To find out the codes on the Rosstat website, you need to follow these steps:
- In the "About Rosstat" section, go to the "Territorial authorities" subsection - "TOGS websites". As a result, a map of the Russian Federation will appear, on which you need to find your region and click on its name.
- After that, the address of the territorial structure will be displayed at the bottom of the map.
- This site has a "Search by Codes" section, and in this section there is a form to fill out which you will need either TIN, or OGRN, or OKPO. Using one of the specified details when filling out this form, you can get the entire list of required statistical codes. By the way, you can not use OKPO for search if it is unknown: the search is perfectly organized by TIN or OGRN.
You may not initially go to the website of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation, but immediately find a regional resource. It is enough to type in the search "Official website of Rosstat ... region". It is easy to recognize the site of the territorial service: the abbreviation “gks” is present in its address.
Statistical codes are assigned during the registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, and identify them in accordance with the all-Russian classifiers. In the All-Russian Classification of Economic Activities (OKVED) you will find codes that characterize the type of activity of an enterprise or individual entrepreneur.
Statistics codes are digital indicators that are assigned during the registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs and identify them in accordance with the all-Russian classifiers.
In the All-Russian Classification of Economic Activities (OKVED) you will find codes that characterize the type of activity of an enterprise or individual entrepreneur.
OKVED statistics codes allow you to determine whether an organization or entrepreneur can apply tax benefits or switch to a certain tax regime. Such codes must be indicated when reporting, as well as annually when confirming the main type of activity in the FSS of the Russian Federation in order to establish a certain tariff for contributions and benefits.
The All-Russian Classifier of Enterprises and Organizations (OKPO) contains codes that determine the type of activity of an organization or individual entrepreneur. The OKPO code is the main code in the Rosstat information system. It is used as an identifier in the implementation of interdepartmental information exchange and for maintaining lists of legal entities in all state classifiers and databases.
The All-Russian Classifier of Territories of Municipalities (OKTMO) contains codes that characterize the organization and individual entrepreneur on a territorial basis. They are needed when compiling reports, for calculating land tax, when filling out payment documents, for example, when you need to pay taxes or perform other calculations with the budget.
When filling out statistical and accounting reports, codes for technical, economic and social information will be required. In particular, you will find codes by form of ownership in the All-Russian Classifier of Forms of Ownership (OKFS), codes by legal forms - in the All-Russian Classifier of Legal Forms (OKOPF).
Find statistics codes online
If, after registering an enterprise or individual entrepreneur, you did not receive a notification with codes from the territorial statistics office by mail, you can download it yourself from the page. To do this, it is enough to indicate one of the details: TIN, OKPO or PSRN. In the same way, you can find out the statistics codes of any other organization, such as your counterparty.
The majority of reporting forms and information is requested by the territorial statistical agency on its own. That is, a form is sent to the address of the institution (on purpose, by mail, in an electronic request), which must be completed and submitted. The composition and reporting forms have been corrected more than once. In the public sector, the frequency of reports "ZP" in terms of social and scientific fields of activity has been changed. Note that earlier reports such as ZP-education, ZP-science and ZP-zdrav were submitted quarterly. Now they are monthly.
Due to the huge number of controlled entities, Russian statistics do not always have time to send requests to all recipients. But the absence of an information request does not exempt the organization from the mandatory submission of reports to Rosstat in 2020. For this, the institution faces a large fine under 13.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
In order to prevent an administrative penalty, it is recommended to find out the TIN reporting to Rosstat on its official website.
How to find out the list of reporting by TIN
Revealing the full composition of statistical reporting will not take much time. To check by TIN what reports to submit (Rosstat), you only need a computer with Internet access and your organization's TIN.
The first step is the transition to the official electronic portal: Rosstat - reporting of organizations by TIN. The appearance of the web portal page looks like this:
Step two - we enter the details of the organization in order to check on the Rosstat website which reports to submit, according to the TIN. If the TIN of the company is unknown, then you will receive information according to OKPO or OGRN.
Step three - click the "Get" button. It is located directly below the fields for entering the identification information of the subject. The system analyzes the entered details and generates search results almost instantly.
We analyze the received information. The registration codes of the economic entity are placed in the first part of the generated search results. These ciphers are contained in a letter from Rosstat, which is sent to the organization during initial registration. If the letter is lost, then the ciphers check on the official website.
Please note that the list discloses information not only about the name and frequency of statistical reporting. In this section, download the current report formats for filling in electronic form.
At the very end of the page, the export of the received information is available.
In simple words, the organization is allowed to upload a list of reports or re-prepare and print a letter with codes from Rosstat.
What is handed over to Rosstat
The deadline for issuing accounting reports is no later than three calendar months from the end of the reporting period. That is, no later than March 31 of the year following the reporting year. It is acceptable to submit accounting information on paper (in person or by mail) or fill out an electronic form and send accounting records via secure communication channels.
For the analysis, accounting, classification of economic activities of business entities of a country or a separate region, the bodies of Rosstat developed a unified form: statistics codes for individual entrepreneurs. The document contains a set of numbers assigned according to the All-Russian Classifier. How and where to get statistics codes for individual entrepreneurs, and what cases require their provision?
The list of statistical accounting codes is conditionally divided into several main types, depending on the information that is encrypted: legal form, line of business, membership in the governing body, location, form of ownership.
The main ones for IP are such codes.
OKATO is an abbreviation for the classifier of administrative-territorial division. Allows you to record information about the territorial location of entities conducting activities. The data are coded in hierarchical order, from larger to smaller territorial entities.
Consists of 9 digits, of which:
- 1-2 - objects of federal significance: republic, city, territory, region, autonomous district;
- 3-4 - districts;
- 5-7 - cities of regional subordination or districts within the city, urban-type settlements;
- 8-9 - check number.
The collected information made it possible to create a directory for obtaining information about the most developed industries of any subject of the country.
OKTMO - encrypts accurate information about the territorial affiliation of the municipal significance of an economic entity. It is necessary for the calculation of land tax, for the preparation of payment orders for settlements with the budget;
OKOGU - the objects of classification of the cipher are:
Individual entrepreneurs belong to the last group, the value of the code is the same for all - 4210015;
OKOPF - designed to classify organizational and legal forms. The availability of such information facilitates the reconciliation of tax, statistical and financial reporting. Analysis of information serves as the basis for planning the strategic development of the state. Entrepreneurs have a code starting with the number 5;
OKPO - All-Russian classifier of enterprises and organizations. The database was founded in 1994. Does not change throughout the lifetime, even if there are changes in personal data. Contains a unique cipher, individual for each entrepreneur. Allows you to get general information about the industry in which the business entity operates. The number of code digits for individual entrepreneurs is higher than for legal entities - 10 instead of 8. At the same time, 9 digits represent the serial number, and the last one is the control number;
OKFS - indicates the form of ownership - private, in the case of an entrepreneur;
Responsible for the assignment of the above codes are the territorial divisions of Rosstat, centers of regional significance, related to the Federal Statistical Service.
It should be noted that the codes characterizing the type of activity affect the taxation system. The correct definition is important in order to avoid erroneous charges.
Where can I get statistics codes for IP?
During registration, the entrepreneur receives a notice of assignment of codes upon completion of the registration procedure as an individual entrepreneur. Information about the registered is sent by the tax accounting authorities to extra-budgetary funds and territorial statistical authorities. Unlike the Funds, which send notifications by mail, documents from Rosstat must be received independently.
Rosstat is a method that requires a personal visit to the organization, with a set of necessary documents (copy and original):
You will need to write an application and pay a state fee. The standard waiting time is 4-5 business days. It is possible to receive it in the afternoon, but a fee is charged for the urgency of production. The certificate has all the necessary marks of the statistical agency.
When filling out the request, it is allowed to choose the method of receipt - in person, by mail, e-mail, fax:
- a law firm is a popular service for entrepreneurs who do not want to visit a government agency on their own. The company undertakes to write a request for an individual entrepreneur, receive a response and deliver it to the customer. A fee of 500-1500 rubles is charged for the service;
- online - the method allows you to find out IP statistics codes only by. The service is provided by many sites. In order for the information to be up-to-date, it is recommended to find out the IP statistics codes by TIN on the official websites of the Rosstat bodies. The downloaded file does not have a seal, but is used by many institutions, for example, banks (make a request on their own).
How to find out statistics codes for IP TIN via the Internet is described by step-by-step instructions:
The online notification is for informational purposes only and does not contain marks from government agencies.
Having a notice is not a requirement for doing business.
At the same time, an extract from Rosstat for individual entrepreneurs is required in the following situations:
Recently, there has been a tendency to closely check counterparties before concluding an agreement. Often companies request a package of constituent documents with the mandatory application of statutory codes. When participating in electronic auctions, tenders, requests for proposals, quotations, you also need to upload the above documents.
In this case, the information is subject to update when:
- change, addition or exclusion of activities - the application is submitted independently;
- change of citizenship, place of residence, location, passport data of individual entrepreneurs - information is entered by responsible institutions.
Organizations and individuals can independently request an extract from Rosstat.
Statistics codes will help you check the counterparty. Lack of information may indicate illegal activities.
Thus, although statistics codes do not belong to the category of mandatory documents for doing business, it is better for an entrepreneur to have a copy for the correct preparation of accounting documents and reports. Comprehensive statistical accounting and the responsible attitude of business entities to the timely submission of reporting data help the state to quickly receive information about the development of the country's business and take the necessary regulatory or incentive measures.
