OKOGU and OKPO: decoding of abbreviations

One of the ways to inform the consumer about what exactly an enterprise is doing 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 the population or other enterprises with certain services.

General concepts

Classifier is a systematized list of objects, each of which is assigned a specific code. 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 - the classifier included in the list of OK social and economic information, which includes information about products and products. The use of international standards in our country is carried out by attaching their codes completely to the Russian ones or by means of "transitional keys".

Objects of classification OKPO

The objects of OKPO classification are:

• Legal entities (as well as representative offices and branches).
• Individual entrepreneurs.
• Organizations engaged in any activities related to the provision of services to the public without the formation of a legal entity.

What are the OKPO codes for?

To compile the lists of economic entities in all the bases of the Russian Federation, OKPO codes are applied (the decoding is given above). In addition, this code is necessary for more convenient statistics and establishing the nature of the links between legal entities. Also, this classifier allows different departments to exchange information more easily. The codes OKPO - statistical, and with tax (TIN, OGRN) have nothing in common. Confusing them is not necessary. This code is necessary first of all in order to carry out the identification of enterprises.

OKPO. Decoding codes

In the event that the number is assigned to 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 the OKPO code is the most important condition for the legalization of the activities of a physical or legal person on the market. The choice of the right meaning 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.

How to get OKPO code

In order to enter your company in OKPO-classifier, you need to contact Rosstat.
After that, the entrepreneur or legal entity will be sent an information letter 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 a legal entity or an entrepreneur is not difficult. 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.

How is OKOGU deciphered?

Of course, in our country statistics are kept not only in relation to IP 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. The deciphering of the abbreviation is the "All-Russian Classifier of Bodies of State Power and Administration". As in the previous case, this code is necessary primarily for maintaining statistics and ordering information on the management bodies.

Objects of classification OKOGU

This vault has a hierarchical structure. The government is assigned five-digit codes. So, Okogu (decoding of codes):

1. At the federal level - 10 000.
2. At the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, 20,000.
3. Local governments are assigned figures starting at 30,000.
4. Associations of organizations and enterprises - 40 000.

In this classifier there is also a second section, the codes of which begin with 50 000. They are assigned to various kinds of economic interaction between the subjects of the Russian Federation, religious organizations, public associations and interstate governing bodies. Thus, in order to understand on what hierarchical level is this or that state structure, you can look at the code OKOGU. Deciphering it gives the most accurate information.

The importance of vaults, approved by the Federal Agency, is difficult 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.
