Details of the United Kingdom’s contributions to the EU since accession can be found in the House of Commons report titled ‘The UK’s contribution to the EU budget’.

The UK does not make ‘financial commitments to the EU’, but instead makes annual contributions towards the EU budget. The EU makes financial commitments each year which are financed through that budget. Details of EU financial commitments can be found in annual budgets published online, or the EU’s consolidated annual accounts.
