The EU’s own resources are the main sources of revenue for the EU budget. Its annual expenditure may not exceed its revenue (i.e. it operates a balanced budget). There are 4 types of own resources: based on customs duties on imports to the EU; based on value-added tax (VAT); based on gross national income (GNI); and based on the quantity of non-recycled plastic packaging waste. Over time, mechanisms have been introduced to correct what have been perceived as excessive contributions by certain countries. | ![]() |
