Summary/Abstract: Road motor traffic in the European Union member states is priced not only through tax instruments, but also through various charges and fees related to the operation of a motor vehicle. This article examines fees based on a time period, applied to vehicles of the maximum weight of 3.5 t. It focuses on the analysis of the current application of time-based fees in individual countries of the EU. The goal of the contribution is designing a new model of time-based pricing of road motor vehicles in the territory of the Czech Republic. The contribution also includes the analysis of legal standards regulating the issue in the Czech Republic and in the EU countries. The outcome of the contribution is a constructed model of a time-based fee, based on predefined assumptions which were determined by needs ensuing from the current conditions that affect the operation of chargeable passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. In conclusion, a comparison of receipts from the current system of time-based fees with receipts resulting from the proposed model of time-based fees for the Czech Republic is made.
