Frequently asked questions

I handle payslip processing for companies but I am not a registered labour consultant: which code applies?
Yes, in this case 69.20.05 is the right code: it covers those who handle remuneration and payroll processing without being a registered labour consultant. If you do become registered, the activity shifts to 69.20.04.
Our firm offers both payroll services and bookkeeping: do these fall under different codes?
Usually yes. Payroll sits under 69.20.05, while client bookkeeping and tax compliance points to 69.20.03 or 69.20.01. If you do both, it is worth distinguishing the primary activity from the secondary one.
We are a software company that sells a payroll management system: does that fall under 69.20.05?
No. If you develop and sell software — even payroll software — you are in computer programming, i.e. 62.10.00. 69.20.05 covers those who process payroll as a service, not those who build the software.
