OKVED cargo transportation for individual entrepreneurs in 2021

Cargo transportation is a popular and in-demand business area. Both organizations and individual entrepreneurs are engaged in it. If you are also interested in this type of activity, then before registering with the tax office, select the appropriate OKVED codes in advance. Cargo transportation for individual entrepreneurs in 2021 is carried out by different types of transport, so the codes will be different.

What are OKVED codes

OKVED is a special reference book in which each type of economic activity is assigned its own unique digital code. The code can have from 2 to 6 characters, but for business you should choose only those with 4 or more digits.

Usually, the required OKVED codes are indicated immediately upon registration - in the form P11001 or P21001. But if in the course of your activities you change or supplement your directions, then you must report this to the Federal Tax Service within three working days. Now let's move on to the selection of codes itself.

Transportation services should be found in section H - Transportation and storage. First of all, this is the actual transport activity:

class 49: activities of land and pipeline transport;
class 50: water transport activities;
class 51: air and space transport activities.

Additional cargo transportation services are listed in the following classes:

Class 52: Warehousing and auxiliary transport activities;
class 53: Postal and courier activities.

However, two numbers in the code that mark the classes are not enough; further detail is needed.

Main and additional OKVED: what is the difference?

How does the main activity differ from additional activities? Let's find out! So:

The main OKVED is a code for the type of economic activity that most accurately reflects the specifics of your business;

Important! When filling out form P11001 or P21001, you can indicate only one main type of activity.

Additional OKVED are codes that reflect related activities.

Important! The current legislation of the Russian Federation does not limit the number of OKVED codes that you can indicate when registering an LLC or individual entrepreneur.

OKVED codes for road transport

Most often, small businesses choose transportation by road, so let's start with class 49. Here you need to select subclass 49.4, the name of which indicates that it includes codes corresponding to the activities of road freight transport and transportation services.

But, as we have already noted, three digits in the OKVED code are not enough to register a business, so we look further:

49.41 Activities of road freight transport;
49.41.1: Transportation of goods by specialized vehicles;
49.41.2: Transportation of goods by non-specialized vehicles;
49.41.3: Rental of freight vehicles with driver;
49.42: Provision of transportation services.

In addition, additional processing and delivery services can be included in the list of OKVED (freight transportation) codes for individual entrepreneurs in 2021:

52.10 Warehousing and storage activities;
52.21 Support activities related to land transport;
52.24 Transport handling of goods;
52.29 Other auxiliary activities related to transportation.

Let us give a more detailed description of each of these groups in the table.

OKVED taxi: what is it?

OKVED for taxis is a code that designates the activities of services and individual taxi drivers in the All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activities (OKVED). The classifier is divided into 17 large categories by industry, which in turn are divided into smaller ones.

When filling out an application for state registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC, you will need to indicate the type of activity you plan to engage in and select the appropriate OKVED code for a taxi. In the future, these data are used by various statistical services and departments, which every year calculate which sectors of small business are experiencing prosperity or decline, what is the specific number of companies employed in a given economic segment, etc.

However, the classifier itself is quite arbitrary, and in practice, many novice entrepreneurs do not know which code is better to choose. Passenger transportation falls into the OKVED codes for taxis, since taxi registration can be carried out according to two fundamentally different schemes, which means they also need to be registered differently. Let's try to figure out which OKVED taxi code to choose in each specific case.

Taxi activity: general OKVED

Code 49.32

in the classifier it just means the activities of passenger taxis and rented cars with a driver. It will definitely suit you if your company or individual entrepreneur is directly involved in the transportation of passengers in cars in one of its activities.
