The words on this page: 13 definitions, including 4 acronyms, no jargon

City: On this site, "city" means ALL the governments that serve a person who lives there: national, regional and municipal together. When we write "Montreal", that set is what we mean.
Municipality: The city hall alone, and nothing else. Its revenue, its spending, its debt. That is a small part of what a resident carries: the rest comes from the other two governments.
Tier: One of the governments that administer you. Here there are up to three: national, regional (province, state, Land…) and municipal. Each collects its own taxes and pays its own services.
Per capita: The total amount divided by the number of people. Note: each government is divided by the Population of ITS territory: the national one by the whole country, the city by its residents only.
Resident public footprint: Our way of adding the three governments to give an order of magnitude. This is not an official account: these are three calculations on three different populations, placed end to end.
Scope: What is counted and what is not. "MUNICIPAL ONLY" counts only the municipality; "all governments" adds the province and the federal tier. Two very different amounts can both be right.
Vintage: The financial year of the figure: the fiscal year the report covers. It is not always the same from one government to another, and the page writes it each time.
Own revenue: Money a government collects itself: taxes, levies, fees, fines. What it receives from another government is excluded, otherwise the same tax would be counted twice.
Transfer: Money one government pays to another: for example Ottawa paying Quebec for health. This is not a new tax: it is a tax already collected, moved.
GFSM: Government Funds Statistics Manual: the IMF standard that defines how to consolidate public accounts
COFOG: the international classification of public spending by function: health, education, defence…
S13: the European code for all of a country's general government, every layer together
S1313: the European code for local government

Resident public footprint (Spending by category)	CHF 42,372	CHF 41,264	CHF 1,108	by tier	not published	footprint GovXRay	La même formule que Dépenses par catégorie (G = T + D, module consolide): all-purpose spending G 41,264 − own-source revenue T 42,372 = -1,108 CHF/res.. NE PAS additionner avec les lignes par palier: chacune divise par SA population et porte SON fiscal year; their sum is not the resident's deficit.

Chaque ligne = une entité des comptes officiels (contrôles passés); le calcul de chaque cellule est dans la cellule elle-même quand publié. « Ensemble des administrations (S13) » est l'agrégat du FMI: les lignes « dont » et la municipalité sont DEDANS, ne pas additionner; Σ des « dont » dépasse le S13 (transferts counted deux fois avant élimination). La ligne « Empreinte publique du résident » est la même formule que Dépenses par catégorie (G = T + D): ce n'est PAS une consolidation au sens GFSM, et elle ne se déduit pas des lignes du dessus: dénominateurs et exercices différents. Monnaies locales: conversion USD On the Side-by-side comparison.

Why these rows do not add up

Each tier is counted per capita of its own territory: le fédéral par habitant du pays, la province par habitant de la province, la ville par résident. Additionner trois dénominateurs différents ne donne aucun chiffre réel: c'est pourquoi la somme des soldes ci-dessus (CHF 1,108) is not the resident's balance (CHF 1,108). This gap breaks down exactly into four lines: See the calculation, row by row ↑

What "receiving" means: 72% of this spending is services delivered or transfers; the rest is an accounting share

Une dépense nationale divisée par la population du pays n'est pas un service received, même quand le montant par habitant est juste. Chaque cause est classée selon ce qu'elle est RÉELLEMENT pour un résident: la classification dépend de la cause ET du palier qui paie.

WHERE THE FIGURES COME FROMOpen the official receipt, tier by tier

Each tier is a menu: closed, you read its name, vintage and Population; open, its line items. Each row is one line from the official accounts of un tier: tax, levy, contribution or deficit: divided by the Population of ce tier. National-tier tax ÷ the Population of the whole country is not what a resident of this city pays; a tax the city itself levies ÷ its own Population is closer. Native currency first. Transfers change height because the payer and the recipient do not share a Population: same money, two denominators.

Phone: the line, its kind, the calculation. The source note is on the calculation hover.
