The city budget revenues planned for 2014, amounting to PLN 425,180,838.35, were executed in full. Budget expenditure executed at 96.96 percent reached PLN 435,259,064.24.
The budget deficit planned for the past year—that is, expenditure exceeding revenue—was set at PLN 23,760,000. During the year, it was reduced by more than half, to PLN 10,078,225.89. This is a very good result.
The rational financial policy pursued by the municipality’s executive authority, prudent budget management, as well as obtaining external funding and achieving higher own revenues from local fees and taxes also had a positive impact on other budget parameters. Total receipts from personal and corporate income tax were higher than planned. Shares in tax revenues collected by the Tax Offices were almost 20 percent higher than forecast.
