The municipality of Poing will have to pay a district levy of EUR 24.5 million next year.
In 2021 there were only eleven million.
There is a reason for the enormous increase.
Poing - After 2021, the municipality of Poing expects a new record budget for 2022: According to the preliminary report prepared by the finance department, the total volume will be almost 97.5 million euros.
Last year it was just under 82.5 million euros.
How does the increase come about?
In the next year Poing will have to pay a district levy to the district of Ebersberg in the amount of an estimated 24.5 million euros (in 2021 it was around 11 million euros).
This was also a record - which was foreseeable and so factored in, as Mayor Thomas Stark explains.

To find the reason for this high payment to the district, one has to go back to 2020.
At that time, the municipality surprisingly received an additional trade tax payment of 26.4 million euros from a company based in Poing.
It was an additional payment ordered by the tax office from 2014.
Poing: Administration was prepared
This now has consequences for the year 2022, explains Stark.
Tax revenue would generally be included in the district levy with a time lag of two years.
Due to the high tax strength that Poing had in 2020, the tax allocation to the district is now correspondingly.
But: "Our chamberlain pointed this out to us at the time," says Stark.
Accordingly, the expected amount has been allocated to the reserves.
From which it will be taken for the district levy next year.
Finance plan until 2025 in the finance committee
In the meeting of the main and finance committee of the municipal council on Tuesday evening, the administration and finance department presented the budget for 2022 and the financial plan until 2025.
Both were unanimously approved by the committee members with a recommendation to the municipal council to approve both.
Poing: Projects are not at risk
Despite the one-time high mandatory payment to the district, all projects that have already been decided on and planned for the next few years are not at risk in Poing.
A total of around 17 million euros have been budgeted for the construction of the school swimming pool and a cafeteria at the Anni-Pickert-Schule for the budget years up to 2025.
Including risk budget, reports Mayor Thomas Stark.
The detailed preliminary planning for the major project will be presented to the local council in January.
Poing: Debts drop to less than 20 million euros
As of January 1, 2022, the municipality of Poing will have a debt of 23.2 million euros, according to the finance plan, which, according to the financing plan, will be repaid in steps of a good 860,000 euros per year by 2025.
A new borrowing was not necessary, announced Stark.
At the end of 2025, according to the plan, the debt level will be below EUR 20 million for the first time.
For 2022 Poing expects 13 million euros in income from the sale of land in the Lerchenwinkel development area.
Waiting list with community center, town hall and sports center
Large dream projects, some of which have been cherished for many years, can still not be realized with the current and medium-term financial situation: the expansion (2nd construction phase) of the community center and the new construction of the town hall (both in the new town center) as well as the expansion of the sports center remain loud Mayor on the waiting list.
