If a business was always having to give you a 66% rebate, then you would assume they're overcharging you.


Germany

UK
Germany got a higher amount of EU funding as % of it's GNI. Germany 0.33%, UK 0.28%. Any money we get back is taken off the rebate, therefore at least 66% of the money has come from the UK in the first place, ie for every £3 of funding, £2 is knocked off the rebate and added to what we pay in. Factor that in and we actually get an even lower rate of EU funding. The UK contribution figure has the 66% rebate included, so without it, we will and have been expected to pay more as a % of GNI than Germany.

You're really not going to get a good night's sleep pondering this all night ! You lost me at the link to 'order-order'....
