(1)	The base to be used does not exceed 50 % of GNI.

Calculation of the uniform call rate for VAT own resources (Article 2(4) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom):

Uniform rate (%) = maximum call rate – frozen rate

A. The maximum call rate is set at 0,50 % for 2009

B. Determination of the rate frozen by the correction of budgetary imbalances granted to the United Kingdom (Article 2(4)(b) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom):

(1) calculation of the theoretical share of the countries with a restricted financial burden:

In accordance with Article 5(1) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom, the financial contribution of Germany (DE), the Netherlands (NL), Austria (AT) and Sweden (SE) is restricted to a quarter of their normal contribution.

Formula for a country with a restricted financial burden, for example Germany:

Germany’s theoretical VAT contribution = (Germany’s capped VAT base / (EU capped VAT base – UK capped VAT base)) x 1/4 x United Kingdom correction

Example: Germany

Germany’s theoretical VAT contribution = 11 027 669 000 / (59 849 511 500 – 9 617 309 000) × 1/4 × 6 279 852 489 = 344 660 055

(2) calculation of the frozen rate:

Frozen rate = (UK correction – theoretical VAT contributions (D + NL + A + S))/(EU capped VAT base – capped VAT bases (UK+ D + NL + A + S))

Frozen rate = (6 279 852 489 – (344 660 055 + 93 505 504 + 40 278 555 + 47 438 124))/(59 849 511 500 – (9 617 309 000 + 11 027 669 000 + 2 991 782 000 + 1 288 744 000 + 1 517 820 000))

Frozen rate = 0,172242649704235 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0,172242649704235 % = 0,327757350295765 %

11. Correction for the United Kingdom = (9) – (10)

6 279 852 489

(1)	Rounded percentages.
(2)	The amount of pre-accession expenditure (PAE) corresponds to the sum, as adjusted by applying the EU-27 GDP deflator for 2007, of payments made under 2003 appropriations to the 10 new Member States which joined the EU on 1 May 2004 (as adjusted by applying the EU-25 GDP deflator for 2004, 2005 and 2006) as well as of payments made under 2006 appropriations to Bulgaria and Romania. This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.
(3)	The ‘UK advantage‚ corresponds to the effects arising for the United Kingdom from the changeover to capped VAT and the introduction of the GNP/GNI-based own resource.
(4)	These windfall gains correspond to the net gains of the United Kingdom resulting from the increase — from 10 to 25 % as of 1 January 2001 — in the percentage of traditional own resources retained by Member States to cover the collection costs of traditional own resources (TOR).
