Before you open the IP, you need to decide on field of activity. There may be several, but you must specify the main one by selecting it from OKVED.
Activity restrictions relate to private security organizations in other cases, they are practically nonexistent.
The types of activities of the IP can be determined in this way:
- The main activity with an OKVED code.
- Additional activities with indication of codes.
When registering an IP, it is worth considering the possible areas that the company can deal with in the future. This will save you from unnecessary problems and save time. But no one has the right to force an entrepreneur to work exclusively in the chosen field. IP can change the types of activities at any time. Today, the state duty for this service is not charged. The type of activity should be displayed in the Charter of the organization and in the extract from the register.
Subtleties of taxation
The issue of taxation is one of the most important for any entrepreneur. Therefore, businessmen want to know how species economic activity IE and their number for the amount of taxes. If you select species according to the general system or the simplified tax system, the amount of payments will not change. When choosing activities for UTII or the patent system, it should be borne in mind that taxation depends directly on the types and quantity.
Entrepreneurs often think about whether it is necessary to indicate in the charter document those areas that require a license, and the company does not have one. The company has the right to fix them even if it is not planned to obtain a license in the near future. But this does not apply to organizations with special statutory tasks.
In order to choose the right types of activities from the OKVED, an individual entrepreneur can turn to lawyers. If necessary, experts will help to change codes in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or to correct the constituent documents.
How to choose an activity?
When registering, the businessman must indicate what he will do. Even if the selected area is innovative and creative, its implementation must take place in accordance with the law. OKVED contains all the information about the types of activities that are allowed in a particular territory. They are broken down by industry, which simplifies the search task.
Also in this document you can see all the codes that will need to be indicated when applying for the opening of the IP.
What is an activity code for?
Entrepreneurs inevitably face the question: “How to choose the activity code?” It is important to remember that it should carry a maximum of information about the work and functions of the organization. For these purposes, you can use the OKVED handbook, in which there are transcripts of various activities. There may be several, but one must be the main one. It is this type that affects the tax system.
The main types of IP activities allow statistics agencies to attribute an entrepreneur to a specific industry in reports. Choosing a code, an entrepreneur should take the task seriously and analyze all the consequences, since it can be used to influence the tax system. The right choice can significantly improve business performance.
Direction and scope of work
The types of IP activities that are included in the OKVED are divided into three groups depending on their direction and specifics:
- Ordinary.
- Activities that are subject to compulsory licensing.
- Areas requiring permissions and approvals.
Simple activities
This may include those areas in which functions can be carried out immediately after the registration of an individual entrepreneur. No special documents are required. A businessman independently determines what property he needs and in what quantity staff should be recruited. Many entrepreneurs who want to register and open an IP, choose the type of activity.
When do you need licensing?
All of these areas are listed in Law "On Licensing". Choosing such an activity, the entrepreneur will need to obtain a license, which is issued by an authorized body.
To do this, it is necessary to collect and provide a package of documents that confirm compliance with the stated requirements.
Work without a license entails criminal or administrative liability. But the IP can change the types of activities at any time.
Permission Required Activities
Some areas require obtaining approvals and permits from state structures and local authorities. There are also closed areas in which an individual entrepreneur cannot work. These may be directions concerning the life and health of people or their safety.
Is it possible to change the selected direction?
The law provides for the ability to remove or add a type of IP activity. You can change both the main and additional directions. For this, the entrepreneur must contact the tax authorities and provide a package of documents and a list of new areas. The application must be legally certified, having previously received an extract from the USRIP.
Changes will be made within seven business days. It is not necessary to justify the reasons for the changes, it is enough that all the documents are correctly drawn up. The number of additional areas of activity can be any.
Entrepreneurs should know that the statistical service does not indicate a number greater than 30, so it is desirable that there are fewer directions. By identifying priority activities, the IP will protect itself from unnecessary troubles and problems.
In what areas can not IP work?
There are certain areas in which an entrepreneur does not have the right to open a business. These include:
- Private security activities.
- Production and sale of alcoholic beverages, psychotropic and narcotic substances.
- Production of medicines and medicines.
Do I need to report on the start of business?
In order to avoid fines, the individual entrepreneur must know what activities cannot be practiced without prior notice. It must be done after registration, but before the start of activities.
The following can be considered as such directions:
- Services in the hotel business.
- Photography shop.
- Hairdressers and salons.
- Retail and wholesale.
- Other activities specified by law.
A simplified tax system can be applied by every entrepreneur whose field of activity is suitable for certain conditions.
To work in the UTII mode, the types of activities of the individual entrepreneur must choose in the field of household services catering, retail trade, transportation and other directions. This system is used only in the territory where it was introduced by the authorities.
Thus, entrepreneurs have the opportunity to independently consider options for paying tax and choose the most suitable option for themselves.

When collecting documents, it is necessary to ensure that all papers are filled in accordance with the rules and do not contain errors.All codes must be indicated according to the classifier, so as not to be denied opening IP.
