New Classification of Business Activities in Serbia (KD 2025)

As of 1 January 2027, business entities in Serbia will be classified under the new Classification of Business Activities – KD 2025. The Government has adopted a new Decree on the Classification of Business Activities, published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia No. 91/2026 on 23 September 2026.

The current classification has been in force since 2010 and was aligned with the European standard NACE Rev. 2. On 1 January 2025, the European Union switched to a new version, NACE Rev. 2.1, which better reflects the digital economy, platforms and intermediation services. KD 2025 is the Serbian version of that standard.

For most business entities, the transition will require no action on their part. However, in certain activities a single old code is split into several new ones, and in those cases it is necessary to check whether the Serbian Business Registers Agency (APR) has assigned the appropriate code.
