Nav Canada funds its operations and capital investments from user charges, not taxpayer subsidies.

Its boss, Pavlo Riabikin, claimed that the discounted user charges promised to Ryanair would cost his airport money.
|
|
Nav Canada is a private monopoly, and so it might be feared that its user charges would rise excessively.

"Only 220% of those costs were covered" by user charges, says Marcos Peña, chief of the cabinet of ministers .

Blumenauer said that revenue sources for an infrastructure bill would likely involve some type of user charges, such as raising fuel taxes.

"If [we] only built projects that could cover their costs with user charges, we would have far fewer white elephant projects," says Harvard's Glaeser.

Whereas the former is provided by hospitals and primary-care organisations (such as doctors and dentists), run centrally by the NHS and free at the point of use, social care (which includes old folks' homes and social workers) is run and paid for by local government, which funds a heavily rationed service partly through user charges.

Set up by the NZ Transport Agency, Road user charges are a tax paid by users of vehicles which use a fuel which is not taxed at source.

The Act allows for dollar- for-dollar withholding of contributions from any provinces allowing user charges or extra-billing to insured persons for insured services. As noted below, this provision was effective in 'solving' the extra-billing issue.

Internet access taxes normally take the form of taxation on Internet service provider (ISP) access charges. ISPs levy these charges on users. Currently, these fees are typically imposed at the state level. There is no national tax on ISP user charges.

They are needed on semi-trailers where they are the only means of measuring distance traveled over the lifetime of a tire or the trailer. They are used on bus or truck or trailer wheels where the tires are supplied to the vehicle operator by an independent company on a contract of "price per thousand kilometers". The hubometer is installed by the tire company to give them their own measure. In New Zealand hubodometers are used for the calculation of road user charges Road user charges handbook, ISSN 1176-9297 for HGVs powered by a fuel not taxed at source.

Regional councils are funded through property rates, subsidies from central government, income from trading, and user charges for certain public services. Councils set their own levels of rates, though the mechanism for collecting it usually involves channelling through the territorial authority collection system.
|
|
However, with the ever-rising cost of providing these services, council funding is no longer sufficient to cover costs and user charges would free up council budgets for more worthwhile projects. Motor tax is paid into the Local Government Fund and is distributed among local authorities.

Vehicles powered by petrol, compressed natural gas (CNG), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) do not need to pay RUC as these fuels are taxed at source. Most cars and small vehicles will fall into this category. Other vehicles such as light diesel vehicles or trucks pay through Road User Charges (RUC). Most large vehicles will fall into this category.

Main functions of the board is to procure, acquire and have landholdings within the node. It will take up the planning, development, operation, maintenance, management and regulation of industrial corridors in the state. The authority will take up developing master plans in the nodes, facilitate investments. It may also raise funds from market, levy user charges directly or indirectly through any private sector participant.

He collaborated with Archie Cochrane in the early 1970s, resulting in his classic book Value for Money in the Health Services (1976), which explored strategies for cost containment, effectiveness and efficiency. As his experience through advising developing countries increased, he moved away from his ideological commitment to fully state-funded services, and embraced the concept of social insurance and, in the 1990s, the potential offered by user charges.

Financial concerns caused the City of Glasgow council first to reduce subsidies and later to sell the property after it use reduced when user charges were introduced. In 2012 the grounds were opened as a sculpture park for contemporary sculpture and art works.Jan Patience, "Going back to nature", Herald Scotland, retrieved 23 April 2014. The village no longer has its own primary school, and pupils are instead bussed to Kilmodan Primary School in Glendaruel.

The publication of Professor Lord Darzi's review of the NHS prompted criticism of the government and the Department of Health, claiming that it paved the way for user charging, and so contradicting the NHS Plan 2000 which stated that "user charges are unfair and inequitable in they increase the proportion of funding from the unhealthy, old and poor compared with the healthy, young and wealthy". The report also introduces the concept of personal budgets.

The lower MTOW of the "European" version is to allow operators to avoid higher weight-based air traffic control user charges. The third row of seating and increased MTOW of the "US" version are available as factory options at extra cost. At the 2016 AERO Friedrichshafen, Christian Dries said a special version with an additional baggage belly pod was under consideration for the air charter market. By April 2019 more than 120 DA62s had been delivered.

The New Zealand state highway network consists of 11,000 km of road, with 5981.3 km in the North Island and 4924.4 km in the South Island, built and maintained by the NZ Transport Agency, and paid for from general taxation and fuel excise duty. Heavy road users must pay Road User Charges as well, there is limited use of tolling on state highways. There is also 83,000 km of local roads built and maintained by local authorities.

Merit economic services: soil and water conservation, environmental forestry and wildlife, agricultural research and education, flood control and drainage, roads and bridges, space research, oceanographic research, other scientific research, ecology and environment and meteorology. Group 3: all the remaining services are clubbed under this head. In these cases consumption is rival and exclusion is possible, therefore cost- recovery is possible through user charges. These services are regarded as non- merit services in the estimation of subsidies.

It can be done by increasing the relevant user charges, which would also lead to a reduction in their demand. Apart from these first round effects, there would also be positive secondary effects on fiscal deficit, as the overall efficiency in the economy rises with an improved utilisation of scarce resources like water, power and petroleum. With an increase in efficiency, the consequent expansion of tax-bases and rise in tax-revenues would further reduce the fiscal deficit.

Though criticized for imposing federal priorities on provincial jurisdiction, provincial governments were left with no option other than to meet the federal provisions or forgo supplementary funding altogether. To address these concerns, the Established Programs Financing Act was passed in 1977, transferring the responsibility of the program to the provinces by decoupling the amount of the federal transfer from the provisions. Some provinces levied user charges and authorized extra-billing, which threatened universal and free access to healthcare.Madore, Odette (2005).

Under the agreements, Iceland and Denmark contribute five per cent of the operating costs of the aviation services. Since 1974, the operators of aircraft crossing the North Atlantic have been assessed user charges. Any amount that remains to be funded is paid by the states parties to the agreements. Each state party is allocated a percentage of the remaining total which is based on a percentage of North Atlantic crossings that are performed by commercial airlines located in the state.

The JR West has its own ICOCA system, which operates on a "pre-pay" basis. PiTaPa can be used in place of an ICOCA card if the user charges money on to the card beforehand. , PiTaPa cannot be used on the JR East's Suica system, nor Suica on PiTaPa. This has caused some confusion among users who assert that, since PiTaPa operates on the ICOCA system and since Suica and ICOCA are (virtually) interchangeable, PiTaPa must be accepted by JR East although that is not the case.

The BAC One-Eleven 518 involved was registered G-AXMJ, c/n H204, and was built in February 1970. Following the accident, the aircraft was repaired and returned to service. In February 1975, it was re-registered G-BCWG before entering service with Monarch Airlines.the aircraft was re- registered to avoid its being impounded at overseas airports in lieu of user charges owed by the then bankrupt Court Line The aircraft was subsequently sold on to Philippine Airlines, which had it re-registered RP-C1189.

Secondly, the provision of government services shifted towards contracts, franchising, vouchers, and user charges in an effort to promote efficiency in service provision to citizens. In this type of government, large bureaucracies within a ministry (the principal) no longer maintain their hierarchical structure but rather are composed of operational arms of ministries that perform the role of an individual agent. The strategy has been more prominent in liberal market- driven policy regimes like New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States. Continental Europe has been more resistant to implementing this type of policy.

The reforms were unpopular, and health was perceived as one of the government's weaknesses, with the health portfolio consequently being viewed as a challenge.Dave Cannan, "English confident of health role", Otago Daily Times, 6 November 1997. Retrieved from Factiva, 12 December 2016. English believed that the unpopularity of the reforms was in part due to a failure in messaging, and encouraged his National colleagues to avoid bureaucratic and money-focused language (such as references to "balance sheets" and "user charges") and instead talk about the improvements to services the government's reforms would bring.

The three waters assets managed by Wellington Water are owned by councils including Hutt, Porirua, Upper Hutt and Wellington City councils, South Wairarapa District Council and Greater Wellington Regional Council. Wellington Water is jointly owned by all six councils. The South Wairarapa District Council transferred the management of their water infrastructure to Wellington Water, as from 1 October 2019. Wellington Water manages the water assets on behalf of the six councils, but the individual councils retain ownership of their assets, and set their own rates and user charges.

On average cost recovery is too low to recover operating costs, not to speak of providing adequate maintenance of facilities.World Bank 2007 Urban water supply and sanitation project accessed on September 27, 2010 Recurrent expenditures – estimated at US$29 million in 2001–02 – were financed primarily through user charges (64%), as well as by subsidies from the regional governments (31%) and the federal government (5%).Water and Sanitation Program: Ethiopia Water Supply Sector Resource Flows Assessment 2004, accessed on September 18, 2010, p. 4 Despite this overall bleak picture, a few service providers recover all operating costs and generate a modest cash surplus.

Finally, the insurance plan must provide for "reasonable access" to insured services by insured persons, "on uniform terms and conditions, unprecluded, unimpeded, either directly or indirectly, by charges (user charges or extra-billing) or other means (age, health status or financial circumstances);" (Section 12.a). This section also provides for "reasonable compensation for...services rendered by medical practitioners or dentists" and payments to hospitals that cover the cost of the health services provided. Note that neither reasonable access nor reasonable compensation are defined by the Act, although there is a presupposition that certain processes (e.g., negotiations between the provincial governments and organizations representing the providers) satisfy the condition.

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), (formed by an amalgamation of the Department of Agriculture and Food, Department of Fisheries and Department of Regional Development in 2017), is a Western Australian government department responsible for regulating and advancing agricultural and food industries, fisheries and regional development within the state. The Minister for Agriculture and Food, the Minister for Regional Development and the Minister for Fisheries are responsible for the department. In 2004 the department had operating costs of $215,000,000 approx with $120,000,000 provided directly by the state government. The balance was from federal government grants, public operating activities and user charges and fees.

Auckland Council rates combine the rates of the various amalgamated local councils and the Auckland Regional Council rates. For the 2011–2012 year, ratepayers are being charged the same rate as before the amalgamation, plus a 3.94% increase, with Council noting that they had achieved a much lower rates increase than originally foreseen. Rates made up 53% of Council's income in 2011, with the remainder being "grants, subsidies, development and financial contributions, user charges and fees". As of 2011, 24% of Council's money was spent on "Art services and galleries, events, museums, parks, recreation facilities and the zoo", while 22% was spent on "transport management".

Diesel fuel suitable for generators is readily available across the country at petrol stations – diesel is not taxed at the petrol pump in New Zealand, and instead diesel-powered vehicles pay Road User Charges based on their gross tonnage and distance travelled. As of 2012 none of the power generators appear to be committed to the construction of any new fossil-fuelled power stations. However, for several years there have been two unactioned but reasonably well defined proposals for gas-fired power stations with 880 MW of generating capacity in the Auckland area. Both the proposed Rodney Power Station (Genesis Energy) near Helensville and the proposed Otahuhu Power Station C plant (Contact Energy) have resource consents.

The Aotea Centre was also opened at the beginning of his term. Other initiatives which commenced on Mills' watch as Mayor included the introduction of the green "wheelie bins", metered user charges for water use, council assets like golf courses were leased to private management, and the city also quit some assets that no longer were of priority, like its abattoir. Other major events during Mills' tenure included work commencing on the America's Cup Village at the Auckland viaduct, the commencement and opening of the Sky Tower and Casino complex that now dominates the Auckland skyline, the redevelopment of the Civic theatre, and refurbishment of the Auckland Town Hall. During this period, the 1998 Auckland power crisis occurred, which shut down most of the inner city.

From 1984 to 1993 the Labour then National governments introduced major changes designed to get area health boards (later Crown health enterprises) to imitate market forces. User charges were introduced for prescriptions in February 1985 but broader controversial policies introduced by the Fourth National Government between 1991 and 1993 effectively ended largely free provision of primary healthcare, such services being targeted on the basis of income while Community Service Cards (introduced on 1 February 1992) provided additional support.Community Service Cards Authored by Steve Maharey, former Minister of Social Development New Zealand Parliamentary Debates, 19 September 1985, pg 6,971Healthcare Public hospital charges of $50 for overnight stays were briefly implemented but was later abandoned as the 1993 election approached. New Zealand has had numerous public health campaigns and initiatives.

A WSP study recommended that efforts to introduce scheduled emptying should focus first on areas where demand was greatest, moving on to other areas when the success of scheduled emptying had been demonstrated in these areas. Analysis of pit and tank desludging records for Palu in Indonesia revealed that existing demand for desludging services varied between sub-districts, with demand being greatest in well-established areas and least in urban fringe areas. There are multiple benefits of scheduled desludging services in the Indian context: Achieves the norms through regular desludging, reduces high prices of desludging, removes the need for manual labor, improves environmental and public health impacts, links with local taxes rather than with user charges. Scheduled desludging has been initiated in several Asian counties including the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and India.

In the River and Harbors Appropriations Acts of 1882 and 1884, Congress signaled its intent to improve waterways to benefit the nation by promoting competition among transportation modes. The 1882 act was the first act of Congress to combine appropriations for development of the nation's waterways with a reaffirmation of the policy of freedom from tolls and other user charges, first stated in 1787; it was passed over President Chester Arthur's veto, who considered it a waste of the federal government's growing budget surplus. In 1887, the Interstate Commerce Act established federal regulation of railroads; Congress continued to promote freedom from tolls or special taxes on waterways. In 1890, Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act, the first federal statute to limit cartels and monopolies, but the federal government used it minimally until Theodore Roosevelt's presidency more than 10 years later.

As with Australia, New Zealand's healthcare system is funded through general taxation according to the Social Security Act 1938. However, aside from hospitalisation, there are user charges for prescriptions (introduced in February 1985) and partial subsidisation of general practitioner visits with additional provision for those on low or modest incomes known as Community Service Cards (introduced on February 1, 1992) to target healthcare based on income.Community Service Cards Authored by Steve Maharey, former Minister of Social Development New Zealand Parliamentary Debates, September 19, 1985, pg 6,971Healthcare Authored by Michael Bassett, former Minister of Health between 1984 and 1987 These changes were part of broader controversial policies introduced by the Fourth National Government between 1991 and 1993 and effectively ended largely free provision of primary healthcare. According to the WHO, government sources covered 77.4% of New Zealand's health care costs in 2004; private expenditures covered the remaining 22.6%.

Roads – Administration (from Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand, 1966 Edition. Retrieved 19 July 2008.) Today, all funding for state highways and around 50% of funding for local roads comes directly from road users through the National Land Transport Fund. Road user revenue directed to the fund includes all fuel excise duty on LPG and CNG, around 55% of revenue from fuel excise duty on petrol, all revenue from road user charges (a prepaid distance/weight licence that all vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, and all non- petrol/LPG/CNG vehicles are liable to pay) and most non-ACC revenue from motor vehicle registration and licensing fees. In addition, in the last three years the government has increasingly allocated additional funds to land transport, to the extent that today the total expenditure by the NZ Transport Agency on land transport projects exceeds road tax revenue collected.

Although Barangay Pinagsama faces a bright future for the rising businesses within its jurisdiction, some public service projects are hindered by its greatest present challenge which is the absence of Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA)- Barangay share of revenues from the national government. There are several reasons why Pinagsama has no IRA yet; First, Barangay Pinagsama is a newly created Barangay; second, Barangay Pinagsama is one of the barangays affected by the territorial dispute of Makati vs. Taguig thus a status quo order of the higher court pertaining the territorial dispute hampers the legislation for the creation of a law creating Barangay Pinagsama providing its share from the national revenue. For the time being, the Barangay Government's source of fund relies on its miscellaneous income on barangay business permits, barangay clearance, user charges on barangay facilities, city aid and share from the real property tax (RPT) from the city government.

Despite appearing cooperative initially, the Soviet authorities imposed increasingly onerous conditions on the airline and tour operator for the programme to go ahead. These ultimately proved unworkable and forced its abandonment.Beyer, Morten S. Flying Higher: Round the World Polar I, 2009, pp. 200/1 Similar to the case of the Bulgarian communist authorities' sudden and unexplained withdrawal of landing and overflight rights for flights originating/terminating in West Berlin (despite the much-needed hard currency Bulgaria earned from air navigation fees and airport user charges paid by the American and British airlines that operated these flights), some Western political observers at the time suspected behind-the-scenes East German lobbying of its Warsaw Pact ally and chief political backer respectively to have caused this to ensure East Germany's political and economic interests were not ignored in its Cold war allies' interactions with the West, especially where these concerned relations with West Berlin.

The estimates of budgetary subsidies are computed as the excess of the costs of providing a service over the recoveries from that service. The costs have been taken as the sum of: # revenue expenditure on the concerned service # annual depreciation on cumulative capital expenditure for the creation of physical assets in the service; # Interest-cost (computed at the average rate of interest actually paid by the respective governments) of cumulative capital expenditure, equity investments in public enterprises, and loans given for the service concerned including those to the public enterprises. The recoveries are the current receipts from a service, which are usually in the form of user charges, fees, interest receipts and dividends. Mathematically, the subsidy (S) in a service is obtained by: S = RX + (d + i) K + i ( Z + L ) - ( RR + I + D ) Where: RX = revenue expenditure on the service L = sum of loans advanced for the service at the beginning of the period K = sum of capital expenditure on the service excluding equity investment at the beginning of the period.
