Municipal budgets; benefits and charges by region and size class

This table provides figures on budgeted burdens and benefits by field of responsibility (policy area) by region and size class in millions of euros and euros per inhabitant. The figures presented are based on data that correspond to the definitions and classifications used by the municipalities themselves in their administration. These data are provided to the CBS through the Third Party Information Survey (Iv3). The rules for this survey are laid down in the Decree on Budget and Responsibility of Provinces and Municipalities (BBV) and the (Ministerial) Regulation establishing task fields and providing information for third parties. Data available from: 2017 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are provisional at first publication. The figures become definitive when figures for the following year are added to the series. Changes as of 23 March 2022: Provisional figures for 2022 are included. The figures for 2021 are final. When will there be new figures? The new figures shall be published in March of the financial year. The figures may be adjusted on the basis of the availability of new or updated source material. In general, the adjustments are small in size. The adjustments are made when a new year figure is added to the series. Due to changes in source data, Third Party Information (Iv3), as of the 2017 budget, data are not entirely comparable to data from previous years. More information on this can be found in paragraph 3 under ‘relevant tables’.
