Neuss budget: costs are rising despite reserves – what will change now?
In Neuss, the city council approved the budget for the coming year today, although there was a loss of around 40 million euros. However, this deficit is covered by reserves. The decision brings, according to information from news894.de also entails some financial adjustments that directly affect citizens. Cemetery fees will rise by almost 10 percent, while waste fees will also increase. Another significant change concerns property taxes: the city will increase rates, but according to the new calculations, property owners will not pay more taxes than before. This is the result of the property tax reform, which aims to keep the city's income stable, as without adjustments there would be a risk of a total loss of six million euros.
Cardinal numbers – A linguistic element
Furthermore, German also touches on the use of cardinal numbers, which play an important role in the language. They represent the basic numbers such as "zero", "one", "two", etc. These number words are used in different contexts, with the number smaller than one million being written together, while larger numbers are capitalized and written apart, such as "four million euros". So it's important to know how to use and write numerals correctly, especially in official documents, as might be the case with the city's new budget calculations. Further information on this is provided in the comments learned-mit-bernd.de.
The current changes in Neuss not only have financial implications for citizens, but also underline the relevance of precise language, especially with regard to the presentation and understanding of numbers and financial matters. This remains essential in communication between the city administration and residents to ensure transparency and clarity.
