Jennifer Lopez, 53, puts on a VERY leggy display in a skimpy yellow swimsuit as she frolics on sun lounger before slipping into a white one-piece Love Island FINAL 2022: 'Did he actually think he would win?!' Luca is mocked by viewers for puzzled reaction as Ekin-Su and Davide win Love Island FINAL 2022: Ekin-Su and Davide WIN the show as bosses ditch 'split or steal £50k twist' - while Gemma and Luca finish in second place If that were so, the UK would not be in deficit!' 'If the calculation were carried out for the UK population as a whole it would give a 'net fiscal contribution' of over £220 billion. No one would describe this sum as a net fiscal contribution 'While on the one hand the comparison does not include taxes like VAT and excise duties, on the other hand it doesn't include housing benefit or any other DWP payments, and most importantly does not include the cost of any public services whatsoever. The same comparison shows the UK general population paying six times more than they get. Migrationwatch said: 'They only compare receipts of income tax and National Insurance with payments of child benefit and tax credits. The figures were based on the fact that the migrants paid around £3billion in income tax and national Insurance, but got back only £0.5billion in child benefit and tax credits.Ĭrucially, however, this does not consider the cost of schools, hospitals or other public services. The Migrationwatch report separately dismisses as 'nonsense' last week's claim by the Treasury that EEA nationals pay five times more in taxes than they get back. 'It's time to take back control of our borders, and implement a fairer immigration policy - one that works for the UK.' Now, this report lays bare the wider financial cost to taxpayers, which runs to the billions every year - including £1.2bn from European immigration alone. 'Not only that, uncontrolled migration also hits people's pockets because it puts downward pressure on wages as well as increasing competition for jobs. That's a challenge for councils to cater to - as well as a cost to families, who struggle to gain fair access to the services that their taxes pay for. It also contributes to our population increase of half a million every year – roughly a city the size of Liverpool.'Įx-Cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith, who is campaigning for Brexit, said: 'We know that uncontrolled migration is placing a huge strain on the NHS, schools, and other public services. 'Furthermore, it is adding to the rapidly increasing pressures on housing and public services. Lord Green of Deddington, the chairman of Migration Watch, said: 'This report shows that EU migration, taken as a whole, is not making the positive fiscal contribution that has so often been claimed. Experts explain the gap by the fact that the non-EEA migrants will include people who arrived here as asylum seekers, who are less likely to go on to get well-paid jobs. The research found the gap between the contributions made by migrants from the EEA – which is the EU, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway – and the amount consumed by its citizens was £1.2billion last year, or over £3million a day.įor migrants from outside the EEA, the bill was £15.6billion. The campaign group Migrationwatch compared the amount paid in income tax, national insurance, VAT and other taxes by migrants with the cost of providing them with health, education, policing, roads and other services. Last year alone, there were 800,000 arrivals – or one every 40 seconds. They said it demolished claims by George Osborne and the Treasury that EU immigration is a benefit to the nation's finances. Today's report - based on figures from the official Labour Force Survey - was seized on by campaigners for Britain to quit the European Union. The figure includes a £1.2billion annual net cost of migrants from Europe, who consume far more in public services and benefits than they pay in taxes. The cost to Britain of mass immigration is £16.8billion every year, a report claims today. Leave campaigners said it demolished claims by George Osborne
