"The creation of a new ‘EU VAT’ as an ‘own resource’ is yet another federalist proposal involving blatant manipulation based on the false argument of ‘reducing the share of Member States’ contributions’. In adopting this proposal, the European Parliament is advocating switching from a contribution regime based, in the main, on the income of each country to a regime which will be increasingly based on the blindest and most unfair of all taxes, VAT. We propose that the countries with a higher gross national income contribute proportionally more to the EU budget, with in-depth changes being made to its redistributive function and priorities. This would be the most supportive way of obtaining own resources for the EU."@en1
