Municipal Population: 4,772,846 residents · denominator for municipal per-capita amounts

The words on this page: 11 definitions, including 2 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
S13: the European code for all of a country's general government, every layer together

Resident public footprint (Spending by category)	ZAR 44,576	ZAR 49,555	−ZAR 4,979	by tier	not published	footprint GovXRay	La même formule que Dépenses par catégorie (G = T + D, module consolide): all-purpose spending G 49,555 − own-source revenue T 44,576 = 4,979 ZAR/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 (−ZAR 4,594) is not the resident's balance (−ZAR 4,979). This gap breaks down exactly into four lines: See the calculation, row by row ↑

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.
