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): 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 = 10407889000 / (57669214000 – 10530959000) × 1/4 × 5757931681 = 317830570 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 = (5757931681 – (317830570 + 85611179 + 37261421 + 45504460)) / (57669214000 – (10530959000 + 10407889000 + 2803480000 + 1220187000 + 1490119000)) Frozen rate = 0,168875772152444 % Uniform rate 0,5 % – 0,168875772152444 % = 0,331124227847556 % Member State 1 % of capped VAT base Maximum VAT call rate (in %) Uniform rate of VAT own resources (in %) VAT own resources at uniform rate (1) (2) (3) (4) = (1) × (3) Belgium 1440965000 0,50 0,331124228 477138423 Bulgaria 151284500 0,50 0,331124228 50093963 Czech Republic 609696500 0,50 0,331124228 201885283 Denmark 975620000 0,50 0,331124228 323051419 Germany 10407889000 0,50 0,331124228 3446304209 Estonia 82769000 0,50 0,331124228 27406821 Ireland 859976500 0,50 0,331124228 284759055 Greece 1087960000 0,50 0,331124228 360249915 Spain 5411203000 0,50 0,331124228 1791780415 France 9383695000 0,50 0,331124228 3107168761 Italy 6175505000 0,50 0,331124228 2044859325 Cyprus 78673000 0,50 0,331124228 26050536 Latvia 109362500 0,50 0,331124228 36212573 Lithuania 132605000 0,50 0,331124228 43908728 Luxembourg 161921000 0,50 0,331124228 53615966 Hungary 404912000 0,50 0,331124228 134076173 Malta 26640000 0,50 0,331124228 8821149 Netherlands 2803480000 0,50 0,331124228 928300150 Austria 1220187000 0,50 0,331124228 404033478 Poland 1561207000 0,50 0,331124228 516953462 Portugal 799572000 0,50 0,331124228 264757661 Romania 552422000 0,50 0,331124228 182920308 Slovenia 167543000 0,50 0,331124228 55477547 Slovakia 250865000 0,50 0,331124228 83067479 Finland 792183000 0,50 0,331124228 262310984 Sweden 1490119000 0,50 0,331124228 493414503 United Kingdom 10530959000 0,50 0,331124228 3487055667 Total 57669214000 19095673953 Member State 1 % of gross national income Uniform rate of additional base‚ own resources Additional base own resources at uniform rate (1) (2) (3) = (1) × (2) Belgium 3420171000 2146650423 Bulgaria 302569000 189905672 Czech Republic 1219393000 765344920 Denmark 2392833000 1501847706 Germany 24720152000 15515459536 Estonia 165538000 103898962 Ireland 1719953000 1079518491 Greece 2175920000 1365703524 Spain 10822406000 6792620141 France 19230736000 12070059530 Italy 15707334000 9858616771 Cyprus 157346000 98757301 Latvia 218725000 0,6276442 137281473 Lithuania 286456000 179792441 Luxembourg 323842000 203257547 Hungary 995759000 624982341 Malta 53280000 33440882 Netherlands 5744079000 3605237755 Austria 2736781000 1717724667 Poland 3122414000 1959764975 Portugal 1599144000 1003693425 Romania 1317240000 826758020 Slovenia 335086000 210314778 Slovakia 563978000 353977509 Finland 1828978000 1147947397 Sweden 3456262000 2169302729 United Kingdom 21276097000 13353818458 Total 125892472000 79015677374 Description Coefficient (%) Amount 1.
