    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 2008.

    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)) × 1/4 × United Kingdom correction

    Example: Germany

    Germany's theoretical VAT contribution = 10 407 889 000 / (57 669 214 000 – 10 530 959 000 ) × 1/4 × 5 757 931 681 = 317 830 570

    (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 = (5 757 931 681 – (317 830 570 + 85 611 179 + 37 261 421 + 45 504 460 )) / (57 669 214 000 – (10 530 959 000 + 10 407 889 000 + 2 803 480 000 + 1 220 187 000 + 1 490 119 000 ))

    Frozen rate = 0,168875772152444 %

    Uniform rate

    0,5 % – 0,168875772152444 % = 0,331124227847556 %

    Remarks

    Article 15 of the Financial Regulation states that the balance from each financial year, whether surplus or deficit, is entered as revenue or expenditure in the budget of the subsequent financial year.

    The relevant estimates of such revenue or expenditure are entered in the budget during the budgetary procedure and, where appropriate, in a letter of amendment submitted pursuant to Article 34 of the Financial Regulation. They are drawn up in accordance with the principles set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.

    After the closure of the accounts for each financial year, any discrepancy in relation to the estimates is entered in the budget for the following financial year through an amending budget.

    A deficit is entered in Article 27 02 01 of the statement of expenditure of Section III ‘Commission’.

    Legal basis

    Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom on the system of the Communities’ own resources (OJ L 130, 31.5.2000, p. 1), as amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2028/2004 (OJ L 352, 27.11.2004, p. 1).

    Council Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom of 29 September 2000 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources (OJ L 253, 7.10.2000, p. 42), and in particular Article 7 thereof.

    Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1525/2007 (OJ L 343, 27.12.2007, p. 9), and in particular Article 15 thereof.


    (1)  AB No 1 to No 4/2008 included.

    (2)  The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2007 budget (OJ L 77, 16.3.2007, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1 to No 7/2007.

    (3)  The third paragraph of Article 268 of the Treaty establishing the European Community reads: ‘The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance’.

    (4)  AB No 1 to No 4/2008 included.

    (5)  The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2007 budget (OJ L 77, 16.3.2007, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1 to No 7/2007.

    (6)  The own resources for the 2008 budget are determined on the basis of the budget forecasts adopted at the 139th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources on 16 May 2007.

    (7)  The third paragraph of Article 268 of the Treaty establishing the European Community reads: ‘The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance’.

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

    (9)  Calculation of rate: (79 015 677 374) / (125 892 472 000) = 0,62764418013811 %.

    (10)  Rounded percentages.

    (11)  The amount of pre-accession expenditure (PAE) corresponds to payments made to the 10 new Member States (which joined the EU on 1 May 2004) under 2003 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for 2004, 2005 and 2006, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations. This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.

    (12)  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.

    (13)  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).

    (14)  p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); (116 859 851 327 + 3 803 033 702 = 120 662 885 029 = 120 662 885 029).

    (15)  Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (116 859 851 327) / (12 589 247 200 000) = 0,93 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,24 %.
