In relation to the differentiation of the level of socio-economic development in territorial division and consequently increased inequalities in the level of tax revenues of voivodeships self-governments budgets, expenditure instruments of vertical redistribution which include grants awarded to the budget of voivodeship self-government have to play important functions. Originally to a large extent they have to arise from the scope of activity of voivodeship self-government which, unlike communal and district authorities, was created not only to perform ongoing public tasks with voivodeship nature, but first of all to pursue intraregional policy. The aim of the article is to determine the scope and premises of using grants as expenditure instruments of vertical redistribution in the financial contribution of voivodeship self-government and to show in the cross-section of voivodeships the results of this form of redistribution of activity of central authorities.
