This article looks at how benefits in kind households receive from the state are measured within the Effects of Taxes and Benefits on Household Income publication and how the methodology behind these measurements has changed between the years 2005/06 and 2010/11. We also retrospectively apply the current methodology back to the year 2005/06 in order to produce a consistent series showing how the size and distribution of benefits in kind received by households have changed over time.
