<p>Income from the Victim Surcharge contributes to the Ministry of Justices’ Victim
and Witness Budget (“the Budget”). This budget is used to fund Police and Crime Commissioners
(PCCs) who commission local support services for victims, and nationally commissioned
support services including the National Homicide Service, Rape Support Centres, and
the Court Based Witness Service. Income from the Victim Surcharge is forecast into
the Budget at the beginning of each financial year. However, actual income raised
from the Surcharge will fluctuate each year (depending on the amount imposed and collection
rates). Should revenue raised from the Surcharge go above the forecast amount, the
excess is put towards compensating victims through the Criminal Injuries Compensation
Scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Overall amounts are set out in the table below:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial
