sazby

Sazba is a term in the Czech and Slovak languages that denotes a rate, tariff, or fee. The plural sazby is used when referring to multiple rates or price structures. It appears in everyday and formal language in contexts such as taxation, billing, and pricing, for example sazba DPH (value-added tax rate), úroková sazba (interest rate), or poštovní sazba (postal rate).

In printing and publishing, sazba also means typesetting, the layout of a text, including font selection, line length, and spacing.

In official contexts, sazby are set by law or regulation, and changes affect the pricing of goods or services or the collection of taxes and fees. The term is common in the Czech Republic and Slovakia and is used across finance, law, and publishing. The same form exists in both languages with parallel meanings, though context clarifies which sense applies.
