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 = 10693785000 / (57958198000 – 9844979000) × 1/4 × 6534458982 = 363091999 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 = (6534458982 – (363091999 + 97414408 + 42227593 + 49008050)) / (57958198000 – (9844979000 + 10693785000 + 2869049000 + 1243687000 + 1443385000)) Frozen rate = 0,187761923331507 % Uniform rate 0,5 % – 0,187761923331507 % = 0,312238076668493 % 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 1477380000 0,50 0,312238077 461294290 Bulgaria 164568500 0,50 0,312238077 51384552 Czech Republic 664746500 0,50 0,312238077 207559169 Denmark 1010552000 0,50 0,312238077 315532813 Germany 10693785000 0,50 0,312238077 3339006861 Estonia 80569000 0,50 0,312238077 25156710 Ireland 807539500 0,50 0,312238077 252144580 Greece 1186227500 0,50 0,312238077 370385393 Spain 5314146000 0,50 0,312238077 1659278726 France 9501255000 0,50 0,312238077 2966653587 Italy 6448943000 0,50 0,312238077 2013605559 Cyprus 81104000 0,50 0,312238077 25323757 Latvia 112964000 0,50 0,312238077 35271662 Lithuania 154087000 0,50 0,312238077 48111829 Luxembourg 147725500 0,50 0,312238077 46125526 Hungary 446300000 0,50 0,312238077 139351854 Malta 27381500 0,50 0,312238077 8549547 Netherlands 2869049000 0,50 0,312238077 895826342 Austria 1243687000 0,50 0,312238077 388326437 Poland 1680813000 0,50 0,312238077 524813818 Portugal 799321500 0,50 0,312238077 249578608 Romania 543585000 0,50 0,312238077 169727935 Slovenia 176000500 0,50 0,312238077 54954058 Slovakia 240492000 0,50 0,312238077 75090760 Finland 797612000 0,50 0,312238077 249044837 Sweden 1443385000 0,50 0,312238077 450679756 United Kingdom 9844979000 0,50 0,312238077 3073977308 Total 57958198000 18096756274 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 3462469000 2212286427 Bulgaria 329137000 210296559 Czech Republic 1329493000 849457228 Denmark 2401679000 1534512469 Germany 25074521000 16020944150 Estonia 161138000 102956419 Ireland 1615079000 1031927607 Greece 2372455000 1515840285 Spain 10628292000 6790768706 France 19563734000 12499919331 Italy 15616005000 9977584176 Cyprus 162208000 103640078 Latvia 225928000 0,6389332 144352902 Lithuania 309591000 197807971 Luxembourg 295451000 188773455 Hungary 974459000 622614215 Malta 54763000 34989899 Netherlands 5809900000 3712138047 Austria 2809826000 1795291141 Poland 3361626000 2147854485 Portugal 1598643000 1021426101 Romania 1265892000 808820437 Slovenia 352001000 224905128 Slovakia 580001000 370581900 Finland 1896315000 1211618627 Sweden 3433911000 2194039772 United Kingdom 19878725000 12701177541 Total 125563242000 80226525056 Description Coefficient (%) Amount 1.
