Recital 11
(11) The retention, by way of collection costs, of 20 % of the amounts collected by the Member States for traditional Own Resources constitutes a high share of Own Resources not being made available to the Union Budget. The collection costs retained by Member States from the traditional Own Resources should be restored from 20% to the original level of 10% to better align financial support for customs equipment, staff and information with the actual costs and needs. However, the overhead costs of running tax systems being proportionately greater for small member states than for larger economies, an audit of costs and tax outturn should be carried out in all Member States to determine variances in collection costs. The results of such audit will be taken into account when implementing the stated adjustment. Or. en (NOTE: the text comes from COM(2018)0325)
