SNI 2025 - new industry codes

All EU countries will change their industry codes to adapt them to a common EU industry classification. The launch of SNI 2025 here in Sweden at the end of December is part of that work.

SNI 2025 replaces the current SNI version, SNI 2007, which has been valid since 2007. Since then, society has changed, new industries have become increasingly important while others have lost their importance in the global economy. Rapid changes have also taken place in the information technology and service sector.

The introduction of SNI 2025 simply means that we get industry codes that are more in line with the society and business life we have today.

Pretty much all statistics on companies, entrepreneurship, the labor market and national accounts use SNI codes. The industry codes are also used as a basis for research and for political decisions. Based on the SNI code, companies can also receive information about regulatory changes that affect them. It can also affect other things like which expenses you may deduct, your opportunities to apply for grants, and the company's credit rating.

When the old SNI codes are replaced by new ones at the end of the year, the content of many of them changes. In several cases, the old codes are divided, and certain content moves to other – sometimes completely new – codes. If your company's current SNI codes are among those that are changing, you must decide for yourself which of the new codes that best corresponds to your company's operations.

The last day to make your selections is November 21, 2025.

If you do not make the choice yourself, SCB will make the choice for you. They will base their decision on information in the company's annual report and business description. The risk is that you will receive a code that does not really correspond to the operations of the company. You will know your company best, and it is therefore better that you choose which SNI codes that are the best fit.

If you want to change your current code, you can do this here: Register and change F-tax, VAT, employer and SNI

It can take up to two weeks before the change is visible in the service "Update SNI to new version".
