15 years of medical practice, hundreds of patients and one big dream that she had cherished for almost two decades. In March 2026, ophthalmologist Svitlana Katsidym took a decisive step in Kropyvnytskyi – she opened her own diagnostic office. Due to the grant program, the space was equipped with modern equipment and new ambitious plans for creation of a full-fledged clinic are ahead.

However, at the very beginning, in addition to medical practice, another, not less important side of business appeared – taxation. Which taxation system to choose? How to fill out the first declaration correctly? What deadlines should be observed so that everything is perfect?

For a doctor who has dedicated life to medicine, these questions naturally raised doubts and slowed down the start. In order not to act blindly, Ms. Svitlana addressed to the Tax Consultant Office of Main Directorate of the State Tax Service in the Kirovohrad region.

Office specialists, together with the doctor, went through the entire process of registration and setting up business processes:

- Individual choice: selected optimal taxation system taking into account specifics of medical services.

- Step-by-step algorithm: made a clear calendar of tax payments and reporting, sorted out procedure for keeping records.

- Digital tools: taught how to use the payer’s Electronic cabinet, so that all tax questions could be resolved in a few clicks, without distracting from receiving patients.

Such service approach allowed the entrepreneur to avoid common beginner mistakes, save time and focus on the main thing – helping people and developing her office.

“Professional consultation at the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey was a sure start for me. I realized that tax questions can be simple and clear when there are specialists nearby who are ready to support” – Svitlana Katsidym shares.
