Questions & Answers about Taksa je plaćena.

What does taksa mean here, and is it the same as porez?

Not exactly.

• taksa usually means a fee, charge, or official administrative payment
• porez means tax

So taksa is often something like a court fee, processing fee, registration fee, or similar official charge, not a general tax.

What case is taksa in?

Taksa is in the nominative singular.

Why?

• It is the grammatical subject of the sentence.
• The sentence is saying something about the fee: The fee is/has been paid.

The basic dictionary form is also taksa, so here the nominative and dictionary form are the same.

Why is it plaćena and not plaćen or plaćeno?

Because plaćena must agree with taksa.

Taksa is:

• feminine
• singular
• nominative

So the participle/adjectival form must also be:

• feminine
• singular
• nominative

That gives plaćena.

Compare:

• račun je plaćen = the bill is/has been paid
• taksa je plaćena = the fee is/has been paid
• pismo je plaćeno = the letter/postage is/has been paid
