OK WILL TRY AND SIMPLIFY IT SOME MORE for you...............…
There are 4 countries ENGLAND SCOTLAND NI and WALES [ THATS THE UK ] the GOVERNMENT /CENTRAL OFFICE extracts taxes from the residents of those 4 countries from which it pays the EU its annual "fee" [ granted some in any of the countries may pay more or less tax than average ]
the population of ENGLAND is circa 54.8m plus, SCOTLAND is circa 5.4m WALES is circa 3.1m and NI just circa 1.9m now add together the "other 3 and it is circa 10.4m …. better talk net [2017 ?] is in the region of £9bn ………….
fair shares ….. £2.25 bn each ! no we pay [ central government nett £9 bn ]
population Ratio to Scotland is about 10 /1 Wales 18/1 NI 27/1 or ENGLAND V THE OTHER 3 is 5.4 /1 .
so in the pot goes £5.4m to every £1million raised from the other 3... good job it isn't split 4 ways! for them ! IF IT WAS WE ENGLAND WOULD £MILLIONS BETTER OFF .. NI skint in a week …..
Right, I understand what you're getting at now. I was referring to tax revenues, you're referring to EU contribution, which is where the confusion was. Possibly my fault, my apologies.
