Abstract

The aim of the article was to indicate the importance of the category of own revenue potential and diagnose its level and changes in various economic conditions. The importance of revenue from property tax in shaping the revenue potential of communes was also assessed. The subject of the study were basic categories of commune revenue. The estimation of the average level of analysed features, their differentiation and changes in the analysed period was made with the use of descriptive statistical methods, such as location, variability and dynamic measurements. In the analyses measures of central tendency such as: arithmetic mean, median, standard deviation, quartiles and the correlation coefficient were used. Own revenue potential constitutes a stable source of revenue for commune budgets and is most resistant to economic changes. Property tax revenue plays an important, albeit decreasing role in own revenue potential. Research has shown that together with an increase of fiscalism in the scope of this tax, the value of stable sources of income of communes also increases, which boosts financial independence. At the same time, communes with a high level of per capita income potential applied a higher level of property taxation, especially on buildings related to business activities.<br/><br/>
