When calculating own contributions in the various service areas, the possibilities of independent youth welfare organisations to charge fees in accordance with Section 90 SGB VIII (flat-rate cost sharing) in selected service areas, such as Sections 11 and 16 SGB VIII, are taken into account. This is not permitted in Sections 13 and 14 SGB VIII.
