One of the ways to inform the consumer about the fact,what exactly does this or that enterprise do is the OKPO code. The deciphering of this abbreviation is the "All-Russian Classifier of Enterprises and Organizations". It represents a set of coded information about the activities of individuals and companies that provide services to the public or other enterprises.
Classifier is called systematizeda list of objects, each of which has a specific code assigned to it. There are both Russian arches and international ones. Separately, it is also possible to identify departmental classifiers. International are developed by the UN, the EU or the IMF. In our country, VNIIKI (Institute of Classification, Terminology and Information) is engaged in the management of classifiers. The same direction and coordination is carried out by the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation of the Russian Federation. The aggregate of all domestic classifiers forms the Unified Classification and Coding System (ESKK).
OKPO, the decoding of which speaks for itself -classifier, the list of social and economic information included in the list of OK, including information about goods and products. The use of international standards in our country is carried out by attaching their codes completely to Russian ones or by means of "transitional keys".
The objects of OKPO classification are:
For drawing up of lists of managing subjectsall OKPO codes are applied in all bases of the Russian Federation (the above is explained above). In addition, this code is necessary for more convenient statistics and establishing the nature of relations between legal entities. Also, this classifier allows different agencies to exchange information more easily. The codes OKPO - statistical, and with tax (TIN, OGRN) have nothing in common. They should not be confused. This code is necessary primarily to carry out the identification of enterprises.
In the event that the number is assignedto an individual, it consists of 8 digits. Individual entrepreneurs are given a 10-digit code. The first 9 digits are the serial number. The latter is calculated by special methods and is a control number.
Obtaining OKPO code is the most important conditionlegalization of the activities of a physical or legal person on the market. The choice of the right value must be approached with all responsibility. The digital code assigned to the company must fully reflect the type of its activity. Otherwise, the enterprise is threatened with permanent penalties from inspection bodies. If the company for some reason changes its line of business, it will be necessary to change the code.
In order to enter your enterprise in OKPO-classifier, you need to contact Rosstat.
After that, an entrepreneur or an entityan information letter will be sent with all the necessary information. Get the code for the first time, that is right after the opening of the company, it is not difficult at all. In this case, the "one window" principle operates. This means that the entire package of necessary documents, including paper with the assigned code, is issued in one place.
If you do not want to do it yourself,you can also contact the intermediaries. Today there are firms that specialize specifically in obtaining codes for entrepreneurs and companies. Their services are very inexpensive, and therefore quite in demand in the market.
Find out the code of the legal entity orentrepreneur is quite simple. It is indicated in the upper right corner of the reporting forms. Also, if necessary, you can request information about an enterprise in Rosstat or the Federal Tax Service. In addition, information is easy to obtain and on the website OKPO. This classifier is very convenient in terms of identifying the activities of third-party companies. In any case, it is not difficult to learn these codes, since they have their distinctive distinctive features.
Of course, in our country statistics are notonly in relation to individual entrepreneurs and legal entities. At the moment, the Federal Agency adopted about 20 vaults, the number of which is constantly increasing. For example, for accounting of state bodies, the OKOGU classifier is used. Explanation of the abbreviation is "All-Russian Classifier of Bodies of State Power and Administration". As in the previous case, this code is necessary primarily for maintaining statistics and regulating information on management bodies.
This vault has a hierarchical structure. The government is assigned five-digit codes. So, Okogu (decoding of codes):
In this classifier there is also a secondsection, the codes of which begin with 50 000. They are assigned to various kinds of economic cooperation between the subjects of the Russian Federation, religious organizations, public associations and interstate governing bodies. Thus, in order to understand at which hierarchical level one or another state structure is located, one can look at the code of OKOGU. Deciphering it gives the most accurate information.
The importance of vaults approved by the Federalagency, it's really hard to overestimate. Individual entrepreneurs, as well as legal entities get their number is mandatory. This will allow not only to avoid sanctions, but also to conduct business with great convenience. After all, such designations, given that they are identified as simply as possible, allow you to immediately determine the type of activity of a particular company. In addition to OKPO and OKOGU, there are other classifiers that are no less useful in the information plan.
