A pro-Brexit magazine agrees with you. An impartial fact-checking source disagrees with you.

£350 million EU claim "a clear misuse of official statistics"
Claim: After leaving the EU, we will take back control of roughly £350 million per week.
Conclusion This is wrong, it’s more like £250 million a week. In any case the impact on the economy from changes to trade after leaving the EU is likely to be far bigger than savings from the UK’s membership fee.
