Summary/Abstract: Local government in Poland functions as an independent entity in the public finance sector. It performs tasks (most often taking the form of public services) for its residents on its own responsibility. For this purpose, this unit is obliged to organize financial guarantee the implementation of both (own and commissioned tasks in the field of public administration). While in the second case, as a rule, can count on support in the form of targeted subsidies from the central budget, local government should secure own tasks independently. This means that local governments have the possibility (in the aspect specified by legal acts) for financial independence in terms of organizing and collecting budget revenues.
