Deputies of the Vitebsk region approved an increase in the revenue part of the regional budget by almost 45 million rubles
The main source of expanding the capabilities of the regional treasury was the effective work of the real sector of the economy. Due to this, as reported by the head of the main financial department of the regional executive committee Gennady Grebnev, an overfulfillment of the budget's own revenue plan by more than 36.5 million rubles is expected. In addition, the approved increase includes transfers from the republican budget for 8.3 million rubles.
It was decided to spend them as follows. APK organizations will receive over 30 million rubles in subsidies for the purchase of fuel and lubricants for the timely completion of field work this year, as well as for settlements on lease payments for the renewal of agricultural machinery.
An additional 4 million rubles will be allocated to healthcare, mainly for the purchase of medicines and medical supplies. As Gennady Grebnev noted, this year funds from the local fee for crossing the state border by vehicles will be directed to the needs of the industry. In
Vitebsk region, such a payment has been introduced from August 1 until January 1, 2023, and is paid into the regional budget revenue. As of early October, about 63 thousand rubles have already been collected, and by the end of the year, revenues are projected to exceed 100 thousand rubles. The fee is charged when leaving the country at border crossing points with Latvia ("Grigorovshchina", "Gavrilino", "Urbany", "Plyusy") and Lithuania ("Vidzy", "Moldyevichi", "Lyntupy") in Verkhnedvinsky, Braslavsky and Postavsky districts.
In addition, part of the additional funds is planned to be allocated to social institutions for the payment of utility services, as well as for the uninterrupted provision of citizens with technical means of rehabilitation. Among the recipients of surplus resources are law enforcement agencies (for financing road safety work) and a number of district executive committees.
Intergovernmental transfers from the republican budget are directed to the committee for architecture and construction for the repair of local roads (almost 5.6 million) and financing expenses for the creation of engineering and transport infrastructure (about 4.7 million).
Changes have been made to individual areas and expenditures of the regional budget have been redistributed based on requests from administrators and recipients of treasury resources. In particular, in this way, city and district executive committees have been allocated about 765 thousand rubles for subsidizing bus passenger transportation.
