<p>This Government takes recovery and enforcement of financial impositions very seriously
and remains committed to finding new ways to ensure impositions are paid and to trace
those who do not pay. This is why there has been a year on year increase in the total
amount of financial penalties collected over the last four years. The amount of money
collected at the end of 2013/14 was £290 million. The amount of money collected reached
a record high of £310 million at the end of 2014/15 - an increase of £20m (7%) in
cash collection of financial impositions (excluding confiscation) compared to that
collected in 2013/14. <br><br>The table below shows the total value of financial impositions
outstanding in England and Wales at the end of each of the last five financial years.<br><br>
<br>Year Total Value Outstanding regardless of Imposition date <br>2010/2011 £609,559,294
<br>2011/2012 £593,268,197 <br>2012/2013 £575,507,170 <br>2013/2014 £548,811,011 <br>2014/2015
£571,061,117 <br><br>The total amounts outstanding can relate to impositions made
in the year stated or any previous year. These figures include fines, compensation
orders, victim surcharge orders and prosecution costs orders<br><br>The outstanding
balance figures includes the value of accounts that were not due to be paid by the
end of the period specified (either because they were imposed close to the end of
the year or because they had payment timescales set by the courts for beyond the end
of the year) and those that were being paid by instalments on agreed payment plans.
