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) Rounded percentages.
(2) 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 appro-
priations, 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.

(3) 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.

(4) 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).
