answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2019 answer text In 2017, the total gross amount paid by the UK to the EU rounds to £13bn. In accordance with EU regulations, Member States contribute 80% of customs duties collected on non-EU imports. The UK consequently retains 20% of these duties to cover the costs of collection. In 2017, the UK contributed £3.2bn in customs duties to the EU. Therefore, the UK’s gross contribution excluding customs duties to the EU was £9.8bn. answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 03/05/2019 07:44:33 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
