It is necessary to somehow classify the activities carried out by various business entities. For this, the all-Russian classifier of types of economic activity is used, in short - OKVED. It considers almost everything that is possible.
Introductory information
It should be noted that there are two editions of the collection. One is obsolete and the second is new. They are quite different. So, OKVED 41 in the old version addresses issues related to water, while in the new version it relates to the construction industry. The codes used are the same for all business entities, their legal form does not matter. That is, OKVED 41 can be both with a limited liability company, and with an individual entrepreneur.
Value
What does this code mean? OKVED 41 is used to classify business entities that work in the construction industry. What else can be indicated? Codification provides for the provision of information on the (sub) class, (sub) group and type of activity carried out. In this case, the construction of buildings is indicated. This is a class. It includes the general construction of buildings of all types. This refers to the construction, reconstruction, overhaul and maintenance, installation of prefabricated buildings, the creation of temporary facilities. That is, administrative buildings, housing, warehouses, farm premises, as well as other service and public buildings - the list can be continued for a long time. If the company has OKVED 41, then this means that it can engage in this activity. There are two subclasses: 41.1 and 41.2, which respectively designate the development of construction projects and the construction of non / residential buildings.
Why is this necessary?
What is OKVED 41 for? All-Russian classifiers of types of economic activity were created in order to systematize and simplify the accounting of business entities. Thanks to them, you can quickly understand what exactly a particular legal entity or individual entrepreneur is doing. It should be noted that only one class is not indicated in the papers. OKVED usually contains from four to six digits. They are separated by a dot in two. The two very first digits indicate the general sphere (in this case, construction). And all subsequent ones are used to clarify and specify the type of activity. Because of this, the code reference is a fairly voluminous document. It is especially necessary to note that the second (new) edition is much larger than the first, because of its detail.
