Now I know we don't actually send that amount, but that is the top line figure, and any deductions or returns is entirely out with our control

Yes your sums are right. But we don't send £350million a week, the rebate is applied first. Then the amount that comes back must also be included to calculate the net contribution.
As the link shows, the total contribution generally changes in proportion to the headline contribution, so although people might like to claim it's not guaranteed or deterministic etc, it pretty much is.
