A Pobra definitively approves the budget of 10.56 million for 2026

The Town Council of Pobra do Caramiñal has made final its General Budget for the 2026 fiscal year, for a total amount of €10,560,637.14, after the public inspection period elapsed without any claims or objections being filed. The initial approval had been made by the Plenary in extraordinary session held on 17 July 2026, and the final agreement was published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of A Coruña of 14 August 2026, through notice 2026/5407, corresponding to file 2085/2026.

The procedure is governed by article 169.1 of Royal Legislative Decree 2/2004, of 5 March, approving the Consolidated Text of the Law Regulating Local Treasuries. The budget was submitted to public inspection for 15 days, with a notice inserted in BOP no. 136, of 21 July 2026, and since no objections were filed, the agreement was deemed to have been made final. The published document includes, in addition to the statements of expenditure and revenue summarized by chapters, the execution bases, the annex, the staffing table and the non-financial spending limit.

Revenue: transfers, the main source of financing

The revenue statement, with a total of €10,560,637.14, is distributed among the following chapters:

• Chapter 1, direct taxes: €2,595,000.00
• Chapter 2, indirect taxes: €285,000.00
• Chapter 3, fees, public prices and other revenue: €1,464,400.00
• Chapter 4, current transfers: €5,328,547.22
• Chapter 5, property income: €76,150.00
• Chapter 7, capital transfers: €806,539.92
• Chapter 8, financial assets: €5,000.00
• Chapter 9, financial liabilities: €0.00

Current transfers contribute close to half of the revenue budget, which highlights the weight of resources from other administrations, while own taxation (chapters 1, 2 and 3) contributes just over 4.3 million euros.

Expenditure: personnel and services concentrate the effort

On the expenditure side, the budget also amounts to €10,560,637.14, distributed as follows:

• Chapter 1, staff costs: €4,820,129.43
• Chapter 2, expenditure on current goods and services: €3,997,059.86
• Chapter 3, financial expenses: €67,999.97
• Chapter 4, current transfers: €347,850.00
• Chapter 6, real investments: €1,001,576.05
• Chapter 7, capital transfers: €3,000.00
• Chapter 8, financial assets: €5,000.00
• Chapter 9, financial liabilities: €318,021.83

Staff costs and expenditure on current goods and services together exceed 8.8 million euros, around 83% of the total. Real investments, with an amount exceeding one million euros, constitute the main non-current budget item of the year.

Staffing table and execution bases

Along with the summary by chapters, the announcement publishes the municipal staff table and the budget execution bases, documents that set the accounting and budgetary management rules for the year. The agreement also incorporates the non-financial spending limit, a fiscal discipline requirement that conditions the current and capital spending capacity of the year.

A key tool for municipal management

With the publication in the official bulletin, the budget of A Pobra do Caramiñal comes into force and becomes the reference framework for all municipal economic activity during 2026: from the operation of public services to the execution of investments and personnel policy. The absence of objections during the public exposure phase confirms the uncontroversial processing of a document that sets the priorities of the local government for the year.
