The départements receive a flat-rate allocation, an equalisation allocation and a compensation allocation. All of these sums evolve in the same way as the overall operating allocation distributed.
In 2023, the amount of the departments’ overall operating allocation is equal to that distributed in 2022. In 2023, this amount is reduced by the amount corresponding to the reductions in allocations to be provided for in 2023 pursuant to Article 199-1 of Law no. 2004-809 of 13 August 2004 relating to local freedoms and responsibilities. In 2017, this amount is also reduced by €32 million. This reduction relates to the compensation allowance provided for in Article L. 3334-7-1, in accordance with the last paragraph of the same Article L. 3334-7-1. In 2019, the amount of the departments’ overall operating allocation is reduced by the amount corresponding to the allocation reduction to be provided for pursuant to IX of the article 81 of Finance Act No. 2018-1317 of 28 December 2018 for 2019. In 2020, the amount of the departments’ overall operating allocation is reduced by the amounts corresponding to the reductions in allocation to be provided for pursuant to the last phase of the last paragraph of IX of Article 81 of Law no. 2018-1317 of 28 December 2018 on finance for 2019 and IX of Article 77 of Law no. 2019-1479 of 28 December 2019 on finance for 2020. In 2021, the amount of the departments’ overall operating allocation is reduced by the amounts corresponding to the reductions in allocation to be provided for under IX of the same article 77. From 2021, the compensation allowance for départements provided for in article L. 3334-7-1 of this code is reduced in application of article 57 of law no. 2019-1446 of 24 December 2019 on the financing of social security for 2020. If the amount of the compensation allowance is insufficient, the difference is deducted from the twelfths provided for in Article L. 3332-1-1 of this Code. In 2022, the amount of the global operating allowance is increased by the amount corresponding to the increases in the allowance to be provided for pursuant to IX of Article 77 of Law no. 2019-1479 of 28 December 2019 on the finances for 2020 and reduced by the amount corresponding to the reductions in the allowance to be provided for pursuant to VII of Article 43 of Law no. 2021-1900 of 30 December 2021 on the finances for 2022.
