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 2007. |

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

B.

(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 = 10 072 673 000 / (55 191 056 500 – 10 178 922 000 ) × 1/4 × 5 331 368 973 = 298 259 219

(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 = (5 331 368 973 – (298 259 219 + 79 528 563 + 34 786 421 + 42 441 980 )) / (55 191 056 500 – (10 178 922 000 + 10 072 673 000 + 2 685 802 000 + 1 174 791 000 + 1 433 331 000 ))

Frozen rate = 0,164488594287511 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0,164488594287511 % = 0,335511405712489 %

Note: The difference of – € 106 465 028 between the definitive amount of the 2003 UK correction (€ 5 285 094 010, as calculated above) and the previously budgeted amount of the 2003 UK correction (€ 5 391 559 038, entered in the AB 8/2004) is financed in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2007. 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 5/2007. This ‘indirect effect’ corresponds to a payment of € 22 443 975 to the United Kingdom, so that the total amount entered in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2007 is a payment of € 84 021 053 from the United Kingdom (= – € 106 465 028 + € 22 443 975).
