Amendments to the regulations for determining the level of professional risk associated with the company’s economic activity
In order to reduce the administrative burden on businesses, the Government of the Russian Federation has submitted amendments to the rules for determining the occupational risk class. It should be noted that the occupational risk class is determined based on the company’s annual income statement, which determines the type of economic activity that generates the majority of the company’s revenue. The rate of social contributions against industrial accidents and occupational diseases depends on the assigned risk class.
In accordance with the proposed amendments, the main activity of the company will be determined:
- according to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and will be applied to any organization. Amendments to the Accident Insurance Law already provide that from September 1, 2025 it is not necessary to confirm the main type of activity;
- according to the application for registration of the head company and the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, if it is a branch office.
If these changes are adopted by the Government, they will enter into force on September 1, 2025.
During 2025, companies should verify and update the codes of economic activity specified in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, and the economic activity that represents the largest share in the company’s income structure should be indicated as the main type of economic activity in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.
