This thesis focuses on the issue of indebtedness of Czech municipalities and their role in the total public debt. The first part represents the theoretical basis and legislation, which includes defining key terms. The practical part is focused on analyzing the evolution of indebtedness of local governments and of other levels of the public sector. The analysis was made on the basis of compiled time series of the debt for the period 1994-2014. The indebtedness of municipalities and counties had a growing trend during the reported period. In recent years, municipal debt, unlike regional, is stable. The share on debt of municipalities and regions is the size of the public debt is not significant. The largest share of the debt is government debt, which constantly grows from the begging of the period. Part of this work is to compare two methods of evaluating municipal debt, namely debt service and SIMU. Five selected municipalities were compiled both types of indicators for the period 2010-2014. Based on this comparison it was shown to have better presentation of the indicators SIMU than debt service. The thesis seeks to comprehensively evaluate the development of each level of indebtedness of the public sector in order to show, what proportion represents Czech municipalities.

Poláková, Tereza ; Peková, Jitka (advisor) ; Krbová, Jana (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is a detailed analysis of tax incomes of municipalities and regions with focus on four particular municipalities and one region in a practical part. From the year 2001 to 2015 the share of tax incomes and their development are evaluated as a part of total incomes. The theme is highly topical due to ongoing discussions among lawmakers on the subject of budgetary allocation of taxes. The law determining the budgetary allocation of taxes is modified frequently, that is why knowing the impact of changes on particular municipalities or regions is helpful. This knowledge can be useful base for planning new adjustments of budgetary allocation of taxes. In the theoretical part there are mentioned expert opinions on financial management of municipalities and regions that arise from their functions and positions. The emphasis is put on incomes of municipalities and regions, especially on tax incomes. Particular changes from 2001 to 2015 in law regulating budgetary allocation of taxes are described here with their impacts on municipalities and regions. Incomes and management of selected municipalities representing various size categories and Liberec region are analysed in the practical part. Financial self-sufficiency is evaluated here. In general municipalities are more financial self-sufficient than regions. This thesis is further dealing with individual tax incomes and impacts of changes in budgetary allocation of taxes on their size. Making models of theoretical incomes is used to simulate effects of diverse law adjustments. Results of the analysis show that tax incomes of municipalities and regions are generally increasing. During the observed period there was tendency to lower the growth of tax incomes of large cities, to increase the growth of tax incomes of small municipalities and to straighten the level of tax incomes of medium municipalities thanks to changes in budgetary allocation of taxes. Tax incomes of regions were increased thanks to changes in budgetary allocation of taxes despite of partial decrease in particular segments of tax incomes after 2012.
