More detailed description with a list of areas of economic activity, look at the codes you need in the OKVED-2 classifier ( current list OKVED codes download).

Features of licensing the activities of individual entrepreneurs and LLCs

For individual entrepreneurs, unlike a legal entity, only a small list of types of licensed activities is allowed: medical (private practice), trade in pharmaceuticals, freight and passenger transportation, transport services, as well as private search.

If you want to engage in tour operator activities, open a bar or a private security company, you will have to register a legal entity. But a private detective may well limit himself to registering as an individual entrepreneur.

OKVED codes do not always coincide with the list of licensed activities. Therefore, it is important to decide on the main occupation and additional services. For example, the hotel business does not need to be licensed. But the hotel usually has a restaurant where alcoholic beverages are sold, so you will need a license to sell alcohol.

How to get a license

There is no single place in Russia where a state license for a particular type of activity is issued. The application must be submitted to the licensing authority that has the right to control the area of business you have chosen.

The full list of licensing authorities is presented in Decree No. 957 of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 21, 2011 “On the organization of licensing of certain types of activities” (download).

List of necessary documents to obtain a license for a particular type of activity according to OKVED 2018 codes

Application for a license.
Copies of constituent documents for LLC, certified by a notary. Or availability of originals for presentation.
Receipt for payment of the state fee for consideration of the issue of issuing a license.
Notarized copies of documents required to obtain a license for a specific type of business. (Document of lease or ownership of the premises, technical certificates for equipment, certificates of conformity, certificates of education of employees, work books etc.).
Description of submitted documents.

Deadline for consideration of an application for a license in 2018

By law, the application and package of documents must be verified within three days. If errors are found, a month is given to eliminate them. Then, within 45 days, the commission of the licensing authority makes a decision: to issue a permit or refuse.

The license is issued in paper or electronic form(for presentation on the Internet, for example).

Be careful when registering a business. Correctly choose the main and additional codes from the 2018 OKVED list. Check whether you need a license for your type of activity. Please be patient while collecting documents and licensing.

Types of activities subject to licensing - 2017 according to OKVED,represented by several dozen positions. In what sources of law are they recorded? How can you find compliance with them in OKVED and why is this necessary?

Why know which OKVED documents correspond to licensed types of activities?

Strictly speaking, the presence of OKVED codes for a company that correlate with the licensed activity is, in general, not a condition for obtaining a license. License applications generally require only the substantive type of activity to be indicated (or this is implied by the structure of the application itself). The authorities issuing the license may not check what OKVED codes the company has.

But this criterion is important from the point of view of subsequent checks. If a company’s Unified State Register of Legal Entities contains a licensed OKVED, but it does not have the corresponding permit, then during a state inspection the company may be fined on the basis that, for one reason or another, the inspectors will consider that the organization is actually engaged in a licensed type of activity.

Thus, it is in the interests of a legal entity that does not plan to engage in licensing activities to ensure that there are no OKVED license codes in its entry in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

The easiest way to identify them is to compare current types of activities according to OKVED, which are in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or which the company intends to enter into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (for example, upon state registration), with the types of activities subject to licensing, focusing on their essence.

To do this, it will be useful to familiarize yourself with the list of licensed types of activities in the Russian Federation.

About what negative consequences for a taxpayer, it may be possible to identify inaccurate data in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, read the article .

What types of business activities are licensed in the Russian Federation

In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 12 of the Law “On Licensing...” dated May 4, 2011 No. 99-FZ, obtaining a license is mandatory for carrying out 49 types of activities (out of 51 points given in the text of the law, 2 have lost force). Conventionally, they can be classified into the following main groups:

Production and sale of information security software, provision of services in this area.
Production and sale of technical means for secretly obtaining information.
Production of printed products that are protected from counterfeiting.
Production of aviation equipment.
Production, sale, maintenance of weapons, military equipment, ammunition.
Storage and destruction of chemical weapons and waste.
Carrying out operations at chemically hazardous, as well as explosion- and fire-hazardous industrial facilities within the framework of the circulation of explosives.
Activities to ensure fire safety.
Production and maintenance of medical equipment.
Carrying out legal drug trafficking.
Activities of laboratories for the study of microorganisms (infectious, genetically modified).
Providing services for the transportation of passengers, delivery of goods by various modes of transport.
Providing services for loading and unloading dangerous goods at various types transport.
Providing towing services via sea transport.
Organization of gambling.
Activities of security and detective services.
Processing and sale of scrap metals.
Employment of Russian citizens abroad.
Providing telecommunications services, organizing broadcasting.
Making copies of intellectual property on various media.
Working with radiation sources.
Provision of educational services.
Carrying out geodetic, cartographic and surveying works.
Activities in the field of hydrometeorology.
Activities in the field of medicine and pharmaceuticals.
Activities to preserve cultural heritage objects created by the peoples of the Russian Federation.
Providing industrial safety assessment services.
Management of multi-apartment buildings on a commercial basis.

The business owner’s task is to compare the current OKVED codes with those established for types of activities that are to one degree or another similar to the licensed types of activities we listed above.

To do this, you need to refer to the primary source - the OKVED classifier. The nuance is that there are several of them in the Russian Federation. Which ones should you contact?

Which OKVED should a company use?

Until 2017, there were 3 lists of OKVED codes in force in the Russian Federation:

OK 029-2001;
OK 029-2007;
OK 029-2014.

The first OKVED was introduced on November 6, 2001 instead of such classifiers as OKONKH and OKDP, which are not used today in legal relations related to obtaining a license.

Classifier OK 029-2007 was introduced on January 1, 2008, but its entry into force, firstly, did not cancel the legal force of OK 029-2001, and secondly, its effect began to extend to a narrow range of legal relations related mainly to the collection economic statistics.

The OK 029-2014 classifier has been used as a valid OKVED source since January 31, 2014. From July 11, 2016, it began to be used to reflect the corresponding codes in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs when registering legal entities and individual entrepreneurs (letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated June 24, 2016 No. GD-4-14/11306@). Since the beginning of 2017, this classifier has become the only one operating in the Russian Federation. The validity of all other similar directories has been canceled (Order of Rosstandart dated January 31, 2014 No. 14-st).

Thus, in 2017, it is necessary to look for compliance of licensed types of activities with those types of activities that are prescribed in the OK 029-2014 classifier.

Note that, along with turning to the primary source - the OKVED classifier - significant assistance in solving the problem under consideration can be provided by using the provisions of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 16, 2009 No. 584. It contains lists of types of activities that businesses must notify the state about, and many of them (For example, information Technology, work with explosives) coincide with those licensed. At the same time, the OKVED codes are also indicated for them in Resolution No. 584.

Therefore, to compare current types of activities with licensed ones, you can also use the list recorded in Resolution No. 584.

But it is often impossible to do without contacting the official OKVED classifier. Let's study the nuances of its use.

How to compare the OKVED code with the licensed activity

In the structure of the list OK 029-2014, types of activities are combined into sections and within each section are divided into classes, subclasses, groups, subgroups and types. Sections are marked in Latin letters, and each of the smaller registers has a digital designation.

The OKVED code is formed from a set of digital designations of registers separated by dots. Searching for a code corresponding to a specific type of activity in the classifier is quite simple, since it is based on its correlation with the name of a specific section and, in descending order, with the name of each smaller register.

Let's look at several examples of finding compliance of OKVED codes with licensed types of activities.

In accordance with sub. 1. clause 1 art. 12 of Law No. 99-FZ, a license is required for the production and sale of cryptographic information security tools. OKVED OK 029-2014 does not contain the terms “cryptography” or “encryption”. But there is class 26 “Production of computers, electronic and optical products”, which also includes activities such as the production of information security means, the creation of information and telecommunication systems protected using information security means. This class includes group 26.20 “Production of computers and peripheral equipment”, which contains subgroup 26.20.4, which includes activities for the production of information security tools, as well as information and telecommunication systems protected using information security tools. This gives reason to recognize this type of activity as licensed.

The activity of detecting devices that are designed to secretly obtain data has a fairly close correspondence to OKVED codes. This activity is licensed in accordance with subsection. 3 p. 1 art. 12 of Law No. 99-FZ. We are talking about code group 80.20 “Security systems activities”, allocated in class 80 “Security and investigation activities”.

In the case of sub. 8 clause 1 art. 12 of Law No. 99-FZ licenses the development and sale of military equipment. In this case, it is legitimate to talk about the correlation with it of several OKVED codes according to the OK 029-2014 list. Namely:

25.40 (for activities related to the production of weapons and ammunition);
30.11 (construction of ships, including military ones);
30.30 (aircraft release);
20.51 (production of explosives);
84.22 (activities in the field of military security).

Thus, comparing OKVED codes and licensed types of activities is a completely solvable issue, even taking into account the fact that in the structure of the OK 029-2014 list, the codes do not always clearly correspond to the types of activities that are recorded in the provisions of Law No. 99-FZ. Many OKVED codes at least do not contradict the specifics of the business segment to which the licensed type of activity belongs. And this may become a reason for classifying the type of activity of the taxpayer who has chosen such OKVED as licensed.

Results

Species economic activity in the Russian Federation, requiring a license, are established by the provisions of paragraph 1. Art. 12 of Law No. 99-FZ. For a taxpayer who does not intend to engage similar types activities, during the initial registration or making adjustments to the registration data, you must avoid the appearance in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities of OKVED codes corresponding to the licensed types of activities, otherwise, during the inspection, a fine may be issued for the lack of a license.

It is necessary to compare licensed types of activities with those types for which codes are defined in the list of OK 029-2014.

In this article we will tell you what types of activities you need to obtain a license for in 2018, and what the consequences of working without such a permit are, if it is required by law.

A license is permission from authorized government bodies to carry out certain types of activities.

Features of activities requiring a license

The areas of business subject to licensing were not chosen randomly. They all require special technical specifications, qualified personnel or may adversely affect the life and health of people, environment, cultural heritage. Among the licensed areas of business, there are also those that are associated with large financial flows (banks, credit organizations, securities market).

Not all licensed types of activities are available to individual entrepreneurs. The laws do not explain why this is so, but it is known that the state treats individual entrepreneurs as business babies. For entrepreneurs, fines are several times lower, and tax benefits more. But, for example, licenses for the production and sale of strong alcohol will not be given to individual entrepreneurs. The maximum that will be allowed to sell alcohol is .

What activities require a license?

The largest list of licensed species is contained in Law No. 99-FZ of 05/04/2011, but besides it, there are several other laws, each of which regulates a separate area.

For example, the issuance of a license for the production and circulation of alcohol is controlled by Law No. 171 of November 22, 1995, for the activities of credit organizations - No. 395-1 of December 2, 1990, and for holding auctions - No. 325 of November 21, 2011.

Responsibility for lack of a license

Failure to comply with legislation in the field of licensing is an administrative offense, which for individual entrepreneurs is punishable in accordance with the articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation /

Fines for working without a license

14.1 (2) – from 4 to 5 thousand rubles with possible confiscation of manufactured products, production tools and raw materials (activity without a license);
14.1 (3) – from 3 to 3 thousand rubles (failure to comply with the necessary licensing requirements);
14.1 (4) – from 4 to 8 thousand rubles (gross violation of the terms of the license).

Special fines for a license in the field of transport under Article 14.1.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation are much higher:

lack of a license - 100 thousand rubles with confiscation of the vehicle;
violation of the terms of the issued license - 20 thousand rubles;
gross violation of the terms of the issued license - 75 thousand rubles.

Although the amount of penalties for individual entrepreneurs is several times lower than for LLCs, criminal liability does not differ depending on the organizational and legal form. It occurs when income is received or damage is caused to the state or citizens in the amount of 2.25 million rubles (Article 171 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

OKVED codes and license

The applicant reports what kind of business the individual entrepreneur will engage in when registering with the tax office. To designate specific types of activities, digital codes according to OKVED (All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activities) are used.

It is impossible to compare the list by OKVED codes with types of activities subject to licensing in Russia. The fact is that licensed areas are broader than a specific OKVED code.

How to determine whether OKVED is subject to licensing

For example, if you select educational activity, then the following codes from OKVED-2 will correspond to it:

85.11: Preschool education
85.12: General primary education
85.13: Basic general education
85.14: General secondary education
85.21: Secondary vocational education
85.22: Higher education
85.23: Training of highly qualified personnel
85.30: Professional training
85.41: Additional education for children and adults
85.42: Additional professional education

Moreover, these are only four-digit codes, and if we take into account five-digit and six-digit codes, there will be even more of them. And if we take pharmaceutical activities, then this concept includes the sale of medicines, their storage, and the manufacture of medicines according to prescriptions.

The mere indication in form P21001 of OKVED codes corresponding to the licensed direction does not oblige one to obtain a license. Only if an entrepreneur starts real activities, it is necessary to contact the licensing authority in advance.

However, some inspectors, and sometimes banks, are interested in whether you have a license if the corresponding OKVED codes are indicated in the extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs. If you are not yet planning to work under a license, then for your own peace of mind it is not at all necessary to enter these codes in advance when registering an individual entrepreneur. You can always serve them later.

How to obtain an individual entrepreneur license

Licensing of certain types of activities is entrusted to authorized state bodies. You can find out which agency you need to apply for a license from Government Decree No. 957 of November 21, 2011.

Information on the most popular individual entrepreneurs licensing directions are given in the table.

Each authorized body has its own official website, where you can find contacts of regional divisions and all the necessary information to obtain a license.

If, as an individual entrepreneur, you plan to engage only in licensed activities, then first study the licensing requirements. For example, to obtain permission to transport passengers by road, you must have:

Transport equipped with GLONASS equipment;
Premises and equipment for vehicle maintenance and repair;
Drivers who have the necessary qualifications, work experience, and have passed a medical examination;
A specialist for a pre-trip medical examination of drivers or an agreement concluded with a medical organization to conduct it, etc.
