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 = 10 693 785 000 / (57 958 198 000 – 9 844 979 000 ) × 1/4 × 6 534 458 982 = 363 091 999

(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 = (6 534 458 982 – (363 091 999 + 97 414 408 + 42 227 593 + 49 008 050 )) / (57 958 198 000 – (9 844 979 000 + 10 693 785 000 + 2 869 049 000 + 1 243 687 000 + 1 443 385 000 ))

Frozen rate = 0,187761923331507 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0,187761923331507 % = 0,312238076668493 %

(1)  AB No 1 to No 8/2008 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 8/2008 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 142th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources on 7 May 2008.

(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: (80 226 525 056) / (125 563 242 000) = 0,638933208303112 %.

(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-25 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).

Note: The difference of – € 122 514 360 between the definitive amount of the 2004 UK correction (€ 5 547 862 430, as calculated above) and the previously budgeted amount of the 2004 UK correction (€ 5 425 348 070, entered in the AB 3/2006) is financed in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2008. This impact is the so-called ‘direct effect’ of the UK correction. A supplementary adjustment, to take into account the so-called ‘indirect effect’ of the UK correction on the uniform rate of call of the VAT-based own resource, is also financed in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2008. This ‘indirect effect’ corresponds to an increase of € 20 611 312 for the United Kingdom, so that the total amount entered in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2008 is a payment of € 101 903 048 to the United Kingdom (= – € 122 514 360 + € 20 611 312).

(18)  p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); (116 859 581 330 + 3 802 985 437 = 120 662 566 767 = 120 662 566 767).

(19)  Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (116 859 581 330) / (12 556 324 200 000) = 0,93 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,24 %.
