The UK will make further contributions in 2019 as a Member State until our exit, but there will be an equal reduction in contributions in 2019 under the financial settlement. The net effect on EU contributions is zero.</p><p>The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) estimated in its March 2019 Economic and Fiscal Outlook (EFO) that the UK’s net (public sector receipts) contribution to the EU over 2019/20 would be £11bn.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 22/05/2019 11:00:45 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

Since Budget 2016 the government has announced reductions to business rates worth more than £13bn over the next five years.
