Frequently asked questions

Opening a newsagent selling newspapers, magazines and periodicals: ATECO code 47.62.10?

Yes, a newsagent selling newspapers, periodicals and magazines is 47.62.10. Books have a separate code — the bookshop code 47.61.00 — while stationery falls under 47.62.20.

My newsagent also sells gadgets, postcards and stationery: which code is the primary one?

If newspapers and periodicals remain the core of the business, the primary code is 47.62.10. When stationery accounts for the majority of turnover, the code shifts to 47.62.20; for games and general gadgets the reference may be 47.64.00.

Where do I classify part-work collections sold through newsagents, with issues and albums?

Usually under 47.62.10, because part-work issues are periodical publications. If you mainly sell stamps, coins and collectibles, the correct code is the collectibles one: 47.69.20.
