On April 17, 2026, another online meeting was held in the Donetsk region as part of the regional platform “Dialogue Between Government and Business,” established at the behest of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The event brought together about 130 representatives of the region’s business community and government agencies.
Participants discussed two key topics: business interaction with market surveillance authorities and innovations in corporate taxation that took effect in 2026. The meeting was moderated by Semen Paniotov, Deputy Director of the Regional State Administration’s Department of Economy.
During the discussion of the first topic, it was emphasized that market supervision is aimed not only at control but also at supporting entrepreneurs in complying with legal requirements, ensuring product safety, and preventing unfair competition.
Participants were briefed on the procedure for inspections, the rights of business entities, and the consequences of violations. Particular attention was paid to the need for preventive measures—checking documentation before products are put into circulation.
As part of the second topic, participants received explanations regarding changes in tax legislation, specifically the specifics of administering local taxes and fees under martial law. Discussions focused on the taxation of real estate, land plots, rent, the single tax of the fourth group, and the minimum tax liability, taking into account the specific conditions of territories where hostilities are ongoing or possible.
The meeting served as a platform for obtaining practical recommendations and answers to pressing questions from entrepreneurs. The “Government-Business Dialogue” platform continues its work, aimed at strengthening cooperation and supporting businesses in the Donetsk region during wartime.
