Rebate has the same meaning, wherever you are 

a partial refund to someone who has paid too much money for tax, rent, or a utility.

pay back (such a sum of money).https://www.google.com/search?q=rebate+meaning&rlz=1C1NHXL_enTH712TH712&oq=rebate&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.4925j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Read the link in full ... "the rebate is applied straight away ... so the UK never contributes this much".

 

What it means is that the "net" figure is sent to Brussels ... not the gross. When a company is calculating it's VAT payment, it deducts input VAT (on purchases) from output VAT (on sales), and pays the net amount. Same principle. 

 

Take it up with the fact checker Max ... you tell them!!!

And precisely how would you describe Osborne's promised 'punishment budget' - that was proven to be an outright lie?

It became unnecessary because of quick action by the BoE to slash interest rates even though the GBP was collapsing and massive QE.

Very true - and neither does anyone else as the calculations have never been published.....

 

Edit - Which is more than a bit odd.  As you point out, 39 bn is one hell of a lot of money and so needs to be fully explained!

Fortunately, the British Government has a clear policy to deal with this issue.

Slashed by 0.25%? Come on!

Why bother responding?

 

Osborne didn't realise that the BoE would step in to help correct any problems?

 

Never mind how you look at it, Osborne's promised 'punishment budget' was an outright lie, and the worst type of attempted manipulation of the vote.

 

As it turns out, I suspect that this outright, obvious lie was the final straw for more than a few voters - so his lie probably helped the leave campaign!

Yes, the leave campaign was assisted by an assortment of unlikely and unwitting (i.e. witless) allies! Thanks George.

Its quite a difficult thing to work out the exact figure , they can be forgiven for not getting the figure 100 % correct , rounding it up to a round figure .

  Although I dont think that it would have made much difference  , people didnt caste their vote solely  BECAUSE of what was written on the bus , it may have helped voters form an opinion , but they would have formed the same opinion had the figure been 250 million, or whatever

Exactly, we only have two weeks left so we need an extension, but I do not think 3 months is enough.

If you watch the TV movie on that subject ... the people involved knew exactly what they were doing ... even they acknowledge it, even if you can’t bring yourself to.

Yes, but we still give the E.U 350 Million per week , so the words on the bus were the truth

(What they give to us is a different matter)

No. UK gives 250. The rebate is applied directly and is not paid back later.

I don't know about the Common Law, but it seems to me that people who are stupid enough to believe charlatans deserve all that they get, and their neighbours should suffer equally until they realise the benefits of parliamentary democracy.

And do you really think that that caused people to vote Brexit ?

If , on the side of the bus it had 250M written , do you think that Remain would have won ?

No idea. However, it is only one lie among others and the sum of them surely had an effect. By the way, the net cost is even lower: 170M.

"Rebate" means to give money back  , a rebate isnt a discount .

A discount  is a reduction , a rebate is whats given back after youve paid

No. It's not the way it works in this particular case. And anyway, why are you so obsessed with this theoretical cost of 350M?
