The impact assessment for the introduction of fees estimated that £10m of fee income would be generated annually. With new claim volumes reducing in 2013/14, HM Courts &amp; Tribunals Service (HMCTS) estimates fee income will be approximately £9m in 2014/15.</p><p> </p><p>The fee income collected in each quarter since July 2013 is:</p><table><tbody><tr><td rowspan="3"> </td><td colspan="4"><p>2013/14</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>2014/15</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Q1</p></td><td><p>Q2</p></td><td><p>Q3</p></td><td><p>Q4</p></td><td><p>Q1</p></td><td><p>Q2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>£m</p></td><td><p>£m</p></td><td><p>£m</p></td><td><p>£m</p></td><td><p>£m</p></td><td><p>£m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Fees Collected</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0.5</p></td><td><p>1.6</p></td><td><p>2.4</p></td><td><p>2.1</p></td><td><p>2.3</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>It is not possible to separate out many costs of collection from the wider costs of employment tribunals, which have fallen in 2013/14 and 2014/15.

The full cost of operating the employment tribunals for 2013/14 was £76.3m gross expenditure and £71.8m net of fee income, a reduction of £14.9m from the £86.7m full cost of operating the employment tribunals for the year 2012 /13.</p><p> </p><p>The sum collected in relation to employment tribunal fees for the period 2013-2014 is available from financial information relating to fees and charges, published by HMCTS in its Annual Report and Accounts.
