Europeans making new lives in Britain pay more in taxes than they take out in benefits, a study released Wednesdayshowed, according to dpa.
But their value to the economy is largely offset by those arriving from outside Europe whose contribution is smaller, researchers at University College London (UCL) said.
Those arriving from the 10 countries that joined the European Union in 2004 paid in 5 billion pounds (8 billion US dollars) more than their cost to the welfare state, the group found.
The arithmetic includes the immigrants' extra burden on hospitals and schools as well as to the fixed costs of defence and the armed forces.
