The key summary statistic “Net taxes” is presented in Figure 3 for different population subgroups of interest. The 2006 EU-SILC data show that an average household in EU13 countries with no migrants pays net taxes of 147 euros per capita per year (Є 4,108 total taxes minus Є 3,961 total benefits). By this measure, households with citizens born in other EU countries are the biggest beneficiaries of the national tax and benefits systems, receiving net benefits of 742 euros per year. However, this group is not very large, comprising about 1 percent of the total population of EU13 countries. As Figure 3 shows, all other migrant groups in EU13 countries are significant netcontributors to the national tax and benefit systems. Households with citizens born outside the EU pay 861 euros per capita more in taxes than they receive in benefits. Households with non-citizen migrants are even larger net contributors, paying 1,413 and 1,640 euros per capita per year on average, depending upon whether the country of origin is within or outside the EU respectively.
