Business: The process of changing the type of activity (QUED codes)
Changing the QUED (Classification of Types of Economic Activities) is an important process for any entrepreneur, especially in the dynamic business environment. If your business is expanding, adding new types of activities, or changing its primary focus, it is essential to promptly change the QUED codes. In this article, we will outline the order of changing QUED codes, particularly for legal entities, and discuss the specifics of the process in Kyiv and Ukraine in general.
Question
Why is it necessary to register and define QUED codes in entrepreneurial activity?
Answer
Registration and defining QUED codes are mandatory when starting a business. However, as your business develops, you may need to update or add new QUED codes. Thanks to digitalization, changing the type of activity has become possible online. It's important to note that the procedure for changing and adding QUED codes is the same. Before starting the process, ensure you have a valid electronic digital signature. If you need a qualified electronic signature, detailed instructions on obtaining it can be found on relevant online resources.
Order of changing QUED codes
The order of changing QUED codes includes several key steps:
- Analyzing the need for change: Before starting the process, it’s important to determine if changing QUED codes is necessary. This may be required if your business plans to change or add new types of activities.
- Gathering necessary information: Prepare all required documents and data for making changes. This includes statutory documents, founders' resolutions, and other related documents.
- Submitting an application: Changing QUED codes can be done both offline and online. Changing QUED online is more convenient and faster, as it allows you to avoid queues and lengthy paperwork.
- Registering the changes: After submitting the application, the change of QUED codes is registered with the relevant state authorities.
- Receiving confirmation: Once the changes are successfully made, you will receive confirmation of the QUED change, which should be kept for future reference.
Features of online changing QUED for legal entities
Changing QUED for legal entities in Ukraine requires special attention. Changing the type of activity for juristic persons includes steps such as preparing the minutes of the founders' meeting, amending the charter, and submitting documents to the state registrar.
Replacing QUED in Ukraine, particularly in Kyiv, is a crucial step to ensure that your business complies with current legislative requirements. In Kyiv, you can change QUEDs either through local registration services or online platforms.
For legal entities to make changes, it is necessary to add a protocol of the general meeting of participants confirming the consent to the changes. You must also pay an administrative fee, the amount of which is determined according to the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons. In 2022, this fee was 740 UAH.
