The subject of the thesis is the fiscal and allocation function of selective excise taxes with focus on the Czech Republic. Due to the fact that the Czech Republic is among countries that apply "traditional excise duties" in their taxation mix, the subjects of which are assumed to have low elasticity of demand, the question is whether these taxes may perform the allocation function. Analysis of the fiscal function is based on the comparison of percentage of excise duties in overall tax revenues of public budgets, and on the development of this portion in time in the EU countries. Stability of revenues resulting from these taxes is verified by variability measures. On the grounds of the performed analysis it can be stated that excise duties in the Czech Republic represent stable revenue of the national budget. Allocation function of these taxes is analysed by graphic depiction and description of the trend of consumption of selected products and of the trend of prices in the period between 1995 and 2010. The trend of prices of selected products is estimated as the difference between interannual changes in the consumer price index for selected product groups and the overall consumer price index. This analysis did not prove unequivocally that the selective excise taxes imposed on the analysed commodities would be able to perform the allocation function.
