Summary/Abstract: In the literature there are arguments for leaving the external system of financing of local governments units based on general subsidy and specific grants from the state budget. When referring to specific grants it is worth noting that on the one hand the use of specific grants means that the local government unit supplies it with additional funds, while on the other hand, the state is influencing the direction of the local financial policy through this transfer. Against this background, the article attempts to answer the question how much specific grants for local government units are a tool for the state’s influence on their activities
