Cło jako źródło dochodów budżetowych w świetle ustawy o finansach publicznych

Abstract

The topic of this article focuses on the analysis of customs duty as public levy constituting a source of income for Poland and an international organisation – the EuropeanUnion. While defining a catalogue of public incomes in article 5, section 2, point 1 of the Act on Public Finances, the national legislator does not directly list customs duties as a public levy included in the public incomes catalogue. Customs duty is defined as one of public levies, since it is the only benefit constituting not only the source of income for Poland’s budget, but also for the budget of the European Union. Furthermore, customs duty fulfils a prohibition function through hindering and even preventing inflow of goods from abroad.
