The Municipal economy
Budget Revenues 2011
The largest source of revenue for the municipality is the municipal tax. The size of the tax revenues is dependent on a number of different factors, like the total amount of work hours. Since Torsby ,Sweden and the entire world is in a recession, the tax revenues do not increase each year. The budgeted revenues for 2011 are calculated at SEK 442 million, with SEK 19 million coming from municipal real estate taxes. We also receive an additional SEK 196 million from state “equalization" grants.
The general grant that the municipality receives from the state is a per capita grant, directly based upon the number of residents in the municipality and serves to compensate our municipality for the fact that we have lower tax revenues compared with much of the rest of Sweden. One third of the state grants provide compensation for additional costs due to structural differences in comparison with the rest of the country. Additional state grants compensate for maximum-taxation reforms within child-care and care of the elderly.
In addition, revenue comes from the charges for municipal services and property rental.
Municipal tax SEK 22.50
County tax SEK 10.75
Church tax* SEK 0.99-1.24
Burial fee** SEK 0.48-0.76
The municipal services provided for residents in the form of education, child-care and care for the elderly make up the largest part of the municipal expenditures. Other costs are for maintaining streets and roads, parks, water and sewers.
Other expenditures include sponsorship of cultural and recreational activities that contribute to making our municipality a pleasant place in which to live.
Providing care for our residents in the form of care for the elderly, the sick or the needy costs roughly SEK 297 million annually. Our children and young people receive the care and education that is required to provide a good start in life and these services cost about SEK 287 million annually. Maintenance of roads and municipal properties costs about SEK 180 million.
Other expenditures include Fire and Rescue services and the Environment and Building committee.
Altogether our municipal budget for 2011 shows a surplus of SEK 1,2 million.
