In 2014, the amount of the flat-rate allowance for municipalities in mainland France and the overseas departments, with the exception of those in the Department of Mayotte, is reduced by €588 million. In 2015, this allocation will be reduced by €1,450 million. In 2016, this allocation is reduced by €1,450 million. In 2017, this allocation will be reduced by €725 million. This reduction is distributed among the municipalities in proportion to the actual operating revenues of their main budget, less income mitigation, exceptional revenues and the proceeds from the provision of staff invoiced as part of the pooling of services between the public establishment of inter-municipal cooperation with its own tax status and its member municipalities, as recorded on 1 January of the year of distribution in the latest management accounts available. However, for the purposes of calculating the reduction in the flat-rate allowance from 2016, the amount of actual operating revenue in the main budget of the municipalities in the overseas departments is reduced by the revenue received in respect of dock dues pursuant to article 47 of law no. 2004-639 of 2 July 2004 relating to dock dues. If, for a municipality, the reduction exceeds the amount received in respect of the fixed allowance, the difference is deducted from the compensation mentioned in III of Article 37 of Law no. 2013-1278 of 29 December 2013 on the finances for 2014 or, failing that, from the twelfths provided for in article L. 2332-2 and in II of l’article 46 de la loi n° 2005-1719 du 30 décembre 2005 de finances pour 2006 de la commune. If, for a commune, this levy was already applied in 2016, it is added to this difference.
From 2018, the levy applied in 2017 pursuant to the first paragraph is renewed each year.
