YOUR SELECTION
KVED list 0
Your KVED list is empty.Add the required KVED codes using the round selector to the right of each code.
The first code you add automatically becomes the primary activity. You can select another primary code at any time; the remaining codes stay additional.
REGISTRATION AND NUMBER OF CODES
How many KVED codes can be specified and when to choose them
KVED codes are selected when registering a company or an individual entrepreneur (FOP) and can be changed whenever a new business line is launched. You need one primary code and as many additional codes as are actually required for the planned sales, work and services.
When: KVED codes are entered during state registration of a company or FOP. New codes can be added after registration.
Primary KVED: one. For statistical purposes, the primary activity is the activity making the largest contribution to the result; for registration, select the code corresponding to the main source of revenue.
Change: primary and additional KVED codes can be changed. For an FOP, changing only KVED codes or contact details online through Diia is free of charge.
PRIMARY CODE
Which KVED should be primary
Use as the primary code the activity expected to generate the largest share of revenue or form the principal result of the business. If you develop software and also advise clients, the development code will normally be primary where software development generates the main revenue.
If you buy finished goods and sell them online, you need the relevant trade code rather than the manufacturing code for those goods.
IMPORTANT FOR DECISION-MAKING
KVED does not replace analysis of the actual activity
The official DK 009:2010 classification explains that an activity code is a statistical classification tool: by itself it does not create rights or obligations and may not be sufficient for applying requirements. The simplified-tax markers in this service therefore work as an initial filter, while the final conclusion depends on the actual activity.
It is to add KVED codes for the next planned expansion of the business, while treating licences, permits and tax conditions separately. On this page you can search by KVED number or by English words, collect classes in one list, select one primary KVED and run an initial compatibility check for simplified-tax Groups 1, 2 or 3.
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION
KVED, NACE and SIC: comparable activity classifications
Ukraine’s DK 009:2010 KVED is structurally harmonised with NACE Rev. 2 and forms part of the wider international system used to classify economic activities. The same task is handled by comparable national classifications in other jurisdictions.
In the United Kingdom, businesses select UK SIC codes for this purpose. Across Europe, NACE and national NACE-based classifications are used in a similar way. The systems are close in purpose and structure, but national code numbers should not be treated as automatically interchangeable.
The Ukrainian version of DK 009:2010 is the primary version for official use in Ukraine. English names on this page are a supplementary working translation for search, communication and comparison with NACE terminology. For registration, taxation, licensing or another official procedure in Ukraine, use the Ukrainian KVED code and official Ukrainian wording.
For FOPs only, without hired employees. Activities are limited to retail sales from trading places at markets and/or household services to individuals from the list in para. 291.7 of the Tax Code. The KVED title alone does not make a code automatically eligible: the place of sale and the actual household service matter.
GROUP 2
For FOPs only, with up to 10 hired employees at the same time. Services may be supplied to individuals and/or simplified-tax payers; goods may be manufactured and sold, and restaurant activities are permitted. For certain activities, the Tax Code requires Group 3.
GROUP 3
Available to FOPs and legal entities subject to the income limit and other criteria. Group 3 is broader by activity, but the general prohibitions in para. 291.5 of the Tax Code continue to apply.
RESTRICTIONS
Activities that do not fit Groups 1–3
Examples include gambling and lotteries, foreign-currency exchange, many transactions in excise goods, mineral extraction, financial intermediation outside statutory exceptions, management of enterprises, specified postal and telecommunications services, sales of art/antiques and related auctions, and touring entertainment events. From 1 January 2026 the list expressly also includes security activities. Separate restrictions for FOPs also apply to technical testing/analysis, auditing and the area of real estate rented out.
SERVICE MARKERS
How to read the result
Each class in the widget is marked for Groups 1 / 2 / 3. Green means basic compatibility, orange means the actual activity needs review, blue shows a “Group 3 only” scenario, and red means clear incompatibility.
Where one KVED class covers different types of work, the marker deliberately avoids an absolute answer. For example, 69.20 covers accounting, bookkeeping, auditing and tax consultancy, while the FOP restriction concerns auditing specifically.
ONLINE · DIIA
How an FOP can add or change KVED online through Diia in 2026
Choose the economic-activity change option, add new KVED codes, remove unnecessary ones and change the primary code if required.
Sign the application using Diia.Signature or another qualified/advanced electronic signature accepted by the service.
Diia sends the application to the Unified State Register. If you use the simplified tax system, the relevant tax update is also transmitted to the tax authority after the KVED change.
Check the status in your citizen account and download the extract after registration. Also review the data in the taxpayer’s Electronic Cabinet.
According to Diia, an online FOP change limited to KVED codes or contact details is free of charge. If the automatic tax notification is not processed, Diia provides a backup procedure: Groups 1–2 notify by the 20th day of the following month; Group 3 reports with the declaration for the quarter in which income from the new KVED was received, or submits form F/J 0102003 through the Electronic Cabinet / taxpayer service centre.
OFFLINE
How an FOP can change KVED offline
Prepare the taxpayer registration number and identity document.
Submit the application for state registration of changes to FOP information through a CNAP administrative service centre or another authorised state-registration provider.
If documents are sent by post, have the signature on the application notarised.
After the change is entered, obtain/generate an extract from the Unified State Register and review the simplified-tax payer register.
LEGAL ENTITY
How a legal entity can change KVED
A change of activities is registered as an amendment to information in the Unified State Register. Determine whether changing registry information is sufficient or whether the charter/model charter or a corporate resolution must also be amended.
Documents are filed by the director or an authorised representative with a state registrar, through a CNAP centre or a notary within the scope of their authority.
AFTER THE CHANGE
What to review after adding a new KVED
The new code and primary activity are shown correctly in the Unified State Register.
For an FOP using the simplified tax system, the new activity appears in the tax records / simplified-tax payer register.
The selected simplified-tax group permits the actual activity, customer, goods and working format.
The bank has updated information where the new activity materially changes the business profile or payment pattern.
Required licences or permits for regulated activities are obtained before the activity starts.
Contracts, invoices, the website and commercial documents reflect what is actually sold to customers.
Do not launch a new business line only because its code has already been entered in the Unified State Register. First confirm the tax treatment and any special requirements applying to the actual activity. KVED identifies the activity class; licences, permits, taxpayer status and contractual conditions are governed separately.
