    Taking back control of our money? HMRC just told me what my tax has been spent on. The U.K. already has direct control over how 99.3% of our taxes are spent & has a say in how the remaining 0.7% EU contribution is spent. Taking back control of the 40p a day I contribute to the EUpic.twitter.com/yegPXHDggm

        You're paying in tax roughly what I take home...

        I forget it's such a taboo to talk about money, and people might think I was having a go, I honestly wasn't. I'm by no means deprived up here - for one thing I bet my housing costs are a fraction of yours xx

        It’s also frankly important to remind politicians of this; they easily forget. Oh, and you earn about twice what I do :)

        Oh yeah, I know I'm not on a low wage. I've been on one of those, and I remember x

        But doesn’t the EU determine what has to be taxed in the first place? It might not control how the tax is spent but it certainly has an enormous say in the tax collection in the first place. It feels like a rather disingenuous statement to me.

        No, not at all. Tax is set by national governments. The EU payments come out of tax but it is just one of the many, and frankly smallest, payments that the State is committed to make.

        Helen I am not sure I understand what you mean. That screen shot supports the point that the EU does not set governments' budgets. All EU states are free to set their own taxes so long as it is done fairly.
