Questions & Answers about Správce poplatku může vyměřit trojnásobek.

Why is poplatku in the genitive case?

Because správce poplatku literally means administrator/collector of the fee. In Czech, a noun like správce often takes another noun in the genitive to show what is being administered or managed:

• správce domu = manager of a building
• správce sítě = network administrator
• správce poplatku = fee administrator / fee collector

So:

• správce = nominative singular, the subject
• poplatku = genitive singular of poplatek

What exactly does správce poplatku refer to: a person or an office/institution?

In this kind of sentence, it is often a legal or administrative term, so it may refer to the authority responsible for the fee, not just one individual person.

Even though správce is grammatically a singular masculine noun, in official language it can mean:

• a specific official
• an office
• the authority acting in that role

So the grammar is singular, but the real-world reference may be broader than one man.
