OKPO code concept
The abbreviation OKPO stands for All-Russian Classifier of Enterprises and Organizations. This statistics code is considered the most important in the Rosstat database. His entrepreneur receives upon registration of the company, and he retains it until the termination of its activities. It can change with a change in the type of activity of the enterprise.
Initially, you can find the OKPO number from the extract of the USRLE or the USRIP.
The main purpose of the code is to simplify the search for an enterprise or individual entrepreneur in the database of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, EGRIP and EGRPO and allow obtaining all the information about them. It also allows you to systematically conduct statistical accounting and reporting.
OKPO code structure
The OKPO classifier has two sections, each of which reflects the correct data on all business entities. The first section contains information about legal entities, their representative offices and branches, and the second - about individual entrepreneurs.
Each of these sections has its own subsections, reflecting the information:
- about classification features;
- about the name of objects;
- about identity.
How to get OKPO number
To obtain the OKPO code, the following documents are required:
- for individual entrepreneurs and limited liability companies - this is an extract from the register with all changes;
- for joint-stock companies - the Charter, extract from the register, an extract from the register of shareholders of the company.
As a rule, after legal entities and individual entrepreneurs have passed the registration procedure, the Rosstat authorities issue an information letter that reflects statistics codes, including the OKPO code. If the company has not received the letter in hand, then it will be sent by mail to the place of registration with the tax service. It is recommended to save the received letter, as it may be needed in the future. For example, when opening an account, most banks require a letter indicating statistics codes.
