In the last five years, Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has collected a total of £41,857,000 from the victim surcharge as follows:
| Financial
year | £ |
| 2007-08 | 3,776,000 |
| 2008-09 | 8,055,000 |
| 2009-10 | 9,249,000 |
| 2010-11 | 10,504,000 |
| 2011-12 | 10,273,000 |
In our response to the consultation ‘Getting it right for victims and witnesses’ in July 2012, we set out a package of reforms to increase and extend the use of the victim surcharge. On 1 October 2012 we implemented the first tranche of these reforms to increase the surcharge ordered on fines, and to extend the surcharge to a wider range of in-court disposals including community and custodial sentences.
For 2012-13 and 2013-14 we expect that the total amount collected in victim surcharge will reflect the impact of these recent reforms. Once the full package of reforms to the surcharge is implemented it is estimated that it will bring in up to an additional £20 million.
The revenue from the victim surcharge is included within the total funding granted by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) to organisations which support victims and witnesses, including organisations that may support restorative justice as part of a wide range of support services. The organisations listed are specifically funded to support restorative justice:
