No estimates are provided, as outturns for 2014 are available. The Government does not produce an estimate of the UK’s balance of payments with EU institutions.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The UK’s contributions fluctuate between years. Over the years 2010 to 2014, the UK’s contributions averaged around £7.1bn. This means that for every pound paid in tax, a little over 1p goes to the EU. An explanation of these figures can be found in Annex B of HM Treasury’s analysis of the long-term economic impact of EU membership and the alternatives.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 25/04/2016 13:28:51 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
