Question 4
Which reason why the UK became the largest net contributor to the EU budget, leading to the British
Budget Rebate in the 1980’s, is wrong?
a) The UK intensively traded with previous British colonies, and therefore paid more import
tariffs.
b) The UK declined to take part in the EMU, and due to the exchange rate pound/euro the
UK became a net contributor to the EU budget.
c) The UK had a small and efficient farming sector which meant that it received less payments
than EU member states with a larger agricultural sector.
d) The UK had low direct taxes which meant that British consumers could spent more in
proportion to the relative wealth of the country and the UK therefore contributed more to the
budget in VAT receipts.
