Summary/Abstract: The partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth did not cancel out a number of existing solutions in the sphere of public finance. At the beginning of the 19th century, a number of structures from the Old Polish era were preserved in the Duchy of Warsaw and the Kingdom of Poland. Changes took place primarily in the area of the management of state finances, but in the case of individual taxes many of them lasted for a long time. Changed and reformed, some public services even survived into the 20th century. The structure of public revenue did not change much in the post-partition era either. One can also see many similarities between the pre-partition era and the times of the Duchy and the Kingdom in the shape of public expenditure. Thus, in the 19th century in the Polish territory in the field of public finance and fiscal law, new solutions were juxtaposed with numerous relics of the pre-partition era.
