Did you know that every time you buy something from the store or use a service, a portion of your money goes invisible in the budget of the European Union? But do not worry - less than 0.5% of VAT, you pay for "moving" to Frankfurt, where the headquarters of the European Central Bank. Put another way, the EU is financed by a tax on consumption, such as VAT. The more you eat, the more money will go to the Community budget.
Apart from VAT, the Community EU budget is financed from two other sources. One is levied duties on products imported surkis into the EU, including farm levies. They account for about 14% of the EU budget. surkis The third source of revenue is the contribution of each member country, consistent with national income. Or as richer a country, the more giving. This is the largest source - about 65% of the budget. Bulgaria's contribution for 2009 was 595 million lev.
Group of economists have calculated something very interesting. The table at left shows how the contribution per capita in the community budget by country by 2010 second source - the duties and taxes taken out because he depends on the geographical location of the country - for example the Netherlands by Rotterdam as the major port and plant lice border of the EU, will collect more fees from Austria, which has no external borders.
Obtained interesting data - if the biggest net contributors (give the most and receive the least) are Germany, France, England, Spain, Italy, etc., then per capita at - many pay in Luxembourg Denmark, Finland, Belgium ... But to each his Bulgarian costs an average of about 45 per year to be part of the Community.
