Summary/Abstract: The collection of taxes and fees constitutes the main source of income for the state, being one of the most obvious expressions of the defense of national interests on a financial level. Only if it has these budgetary resources, the state will be able to fulfill its obligations towards citizens and economic agents. However, the state can only impose fiscal obligations in order to participate in public expenses, as it results from the disp. Art. 56 para. (1) of the Romanian Constitution, legal provision that will be the subject of this study. During our study we will show the destination of the fiscal revenues collected by the state, as a result of the fulfillment of these obligations by the debtors, respectively the payment of taxes or fees. At the same time, the consequence of not feeding a public budget (being thus in the presence of the violation of the principle of contribution, enshrined in art. 56 paragraph (1) of the Romanian Constitution) is analyzed, by reference to numerous decisions of the constitutional court.
