Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government how much money the UK has paid the EU since the UK’s departure from the EU; how much they paid in each year; and for what purposes.

The UK’s financial relationship with the European Union is set out in the annual European Union Finances Statement (EUFS). The 2021 edition was published in July 2022 and gives a breakdown of invoices received from the EU and payments made in 2021 under the European Union Withdrawal Agreement Act 2020. The document also provides an overview of the April 2022 invoice, the last payment of which was made on 30 September 2022. A copy is available in the Library of the House and electronically on Gov.uk. Following the publication of the EUFS, the UK received the second invoice of 2022 in September. The UK was invoiced €6,396,952,144.11 to be paid over eight months from 30th October 2022. Full details of payments made in 2022 will be included in the next edition of the EUFS which will be published in 2023.
