NACE classification

The NACE code shows the industry in which a company operates, and it affects both taxes and the requirements of available support programs. Check if your company code is correct - this will help you receive appropriate services.

The NACE 2 classification of economic activities is available at KLASIS

In order to make statistics of different countries comparable in the European Union (EU), there are two classification systems in force – the European System of Accounts 1995 (ESA 95) and the EU Statistical Classification of Economic Activities (hereinafter referred to as NACE), – according to which it is possible to classify institutional units and economic sectors.

The NACE Rev. 2 classification was developed and approved by Regulation (EC) No. 1893/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing NACE Rev. 2. statistical classification of economic activities, and amends Council Regulation (EEC) No 3037/90 and certain EC Regulations on specific statistical domains.

NACE comprises four levels and one intermediate level:

• the first level containing names (sections) identifiable by alphabetical code;
• an intermediate level containing names (subsections) identifiable by a two-letter alphabetic code;
• the second level, which contains titles (chapters) identifiable by a two-digit numeric code;
• the third level, which contains names (groups) identifiable by a three-digit numerical code;
• the fourth level, which contains names (classes) identifiable by a four-digit numerical code.

Economic activity is determined by the NACE level in stages - from the highest level (for example, in the case of financial and insurance activities, it is section K; see table "Financial and insurance activities") through the division and group level up to the class (for example, class 64.91 - financial leasing).
