Summary/Abstract: The article presents the definition of the legally determined state budget expenditure and the critical attitude of the science representatives to their increase in recent years. In this context, the development of these expenditure in the fiscal policy and their causes are explained. In the Author’s opinion, the stabilizing expenditure rule and the Multiannual State Financial Plan cannot automatically affect the level and the rationalisation of the legally determined state budget expenditure. Therefore, there is a need of conducting the detailed policy concerning the legally determined expenditure, based on a four-year spending reviews and being reflected in the Budget Bills, reports on the implementation of the state budget and Multiannual State Financial Plans. There is a chance that the principles of such a policy will be prepared by a special team created for this purpose in the Ministry of Finance for the spending review.
