Calculation of the uniform call rate for VAT own resources

A. The maximum call rate is set at 0,75 % for 2003.

B. Determination of the rate frozen by the 2002 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 (D), the Netherlands (NL), Austria (A)
and Sweden (S) 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 = 9 655 386 000 / (42 788 313 000 − 8 403 395 000) × 1/4 × 5 488 717 817 = 385 312 022,32482

(2) calculation of the frozen rate

Frozen rate 1 = [UK correction − theoretical VAT contributions (D + NL + A + S)] / [EU capped VAT base − capped VAT bases (UK + D + NL + A +
S)]

Frozen rate 1 = [5 488 717 817 − (385 312 022,32482 + 88 539 407,0347389 + 41 633 983,3302637 + 44 453 253,1596813)] / [42 788 313 000
− (8 403 395 000 + 9 655 386 000 + 2 218 675 000 + 1 043 290 000 + 1 113 937 000)]

Frozen rate 1 = 0,242157254069692 %

C. Determination of the rate frozen by the 1999 correction of budgetary imbalances granted to the United Kingdom (Article 2(4)(b)) of

Decision 94/728/EC, Euratom):

(1) calculation of the theoretical share of the countries with a restricted financial burden:

In accordance with Article 5(1) of Decision 94/728/EC, Euratom, the financial contribution of Germany (D) is restricted to two thirds of its normal
contribution.

Calculation formula for Germany

Germany’s theoretical VAT contribution = [Germany’s capped VAT base / (EU capped VAT base − UK capped VAT base)] × 2/3 × United Kingdom
correction

Example: Germany:

Germany’s theoretical VAT contribution = 9 655 386 000 / (42 788 313 000 – 8 403 395 000) × 2/3 × − 13 009 542 = − 2 435 411,74444

(2) calculation of the frozen rate

Frozen rate 2 = [UK correction − theoretical VAT contributions (D)] / [EU capped VAT base − capped VAT bases (UK + D)]

Frozen rate 2 = [− 13 009 542 − (− 2 435 411,74444)] / [42 788 313 000 − (8 403 395 000 + 9 655 386 000)]

Frozen rate 2 = − 0,000427591199686272 %

Total frozen rate = frozen rate 1 + frozen rate 2

Uniform rate (%) = maximum call rate − total frozen rate

Uniform rate:

0,75 % − 0,241729662870006 % = 0,508270337129995 %
