User Charges

User charges are fees that individuals or businesses pay to access specific services or facilities provided by the government or private entities. These charges are designed to cover the costs associated with providing the service, such as maintenance, administration, and infrastructure. For example, park entrance fees, tolls on highways, or charges for public utilities are all forms of user charges. They help ensure that those who benefit from a service contribute to its funding, promoting fair usage and often allowing for better quality and availability of the services provided.
