The community of Neubiberg is financially solid, but will have to shoulder another minus in the coming year. She will have to deal with a deficit of six million euros. This is provided for by the key figures for the budget for 2022, which treasurer Fabian Leininger presented to the finance committee on Monday. In order to cover the expenditure in the property budget and the deficit, a rather large amount, 18.5 million euros, is to be withdrawn from the general reserves. “We are planning carefully again,” said Leininger of the SZ.
This can be seen, for example, in the trade tax income, which the treasurer estimates this year to be lower than in previous years due to the advance payments made so far. It calculates at 12.5 million euros, in the past few years the business tax revenue averaged around 15 million euros. According to Leininger, income tax, the second major revenue item alongside trade tax, has stabilized again at the level before the Corona crisis after a decline in the previous year. He puts it at 13.2 million euros.
The large expenditure items include the district levy at 16.4 million euros, personnel expenses at 8.1 million euros and subsidies for childcare at 6.8 million euros. In addition, the municipality will have to dig deep into its pockets for the town hall expansion in the coming years. Until 2025, 20.3 million euros plus a risk buffer of 6.1 million euros are planned. For the year 2022, 2.9 million euros have been set. In addition, the new construction of the senior center, for which many elderly people have been waiting for a long time, is being tackled. The budget earmarked 700,000 euros, primarily for planning costs. The municipality is taking 500,000 euros into hand for the renovation of communal apartments in Cramer-Klettstrasse and Siegfriedstrasse. First and foremost, the group of the Greens should be happy about an investment: Leininger is planning 250,000 euros for the climate protection program and tree planting.
The treasurer wants to do without a loan for all of this in the coming year. With a decision, the committee has already met the companies in particular: The assessment rate for trade and property tax should remain at 280 and not be increased. The argument is that otherwise there is a risk of companies leaving the country.
