Description
Summary:Local government units have legal personality. For that reason, they can incur liabilities. Local government units decide on taking loans, credits and issuing bonds, due to deficiencies in financial resources and responsibilities imposed by law. Lawmaker introduced mechanisms limiting an incurrence of liabilities to counteract going into excessive debts by local governments. This restricting system is based on a size of an income which has been obtained by local government. The larger an income is, the higher an ability to obtain loans and credits is. In 2018 the lawmaker changed tax law, what resulted in a reduction of an income and in limiting the possibility of incurring liabilities at the same time.
