Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the level of income flowing to the municipalities' budget from the permit fees to sell alcoholic beverages in selected municipalities. For the purposes of the article, three objectives have been set for determining the level of revenue from the fee. Particular objectives included establishing the share of the revenue from the fee in the total revenue of communes, the dynamics of changes in revenue in particular years and a general assessment of the dynamics of revenue from the fee in communes in relation to the base year. The study for the purpose of publication covered a total of 13 coastal communes (8 urban communes and 5 rural communes) from Pomorskie Voivodship in Poland in 2016-2019. The evaluation was carried out on the basis of available reports on the implementation of the commune budget and reports on the revenue of communes. Analytical methods were used.The results of the evaluation indicate that the income from the permit fees to sell alcoholic beverages constitutes a small share in the total income of the examined communes. The highest income from the analysed fee in the study constituted 1.60% of total income to the commune budget. In the case of most of the surveyed communes, income from the fee did not exceed 1% of the total income to the commune budget. Moreover, the revenue from the fee in 2016 -2019 in the case of most communes increased annually. The added value of the publication is the presentation of the level of income to the budgets of selected communes from these alcoholic beverage sale fees which enables financing the tasks in this area.
