This is why there has been a year on year increase in the total amount of financial penalties collected over the last three years. The amount of money collected reached an all time high of £290 million at the end of 2013/14 and collections continue to rise. In 2013/14 the total outstanding balance of financial impositions reduced by £26.7m (5%) in the year.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The table below shows the value of financial impositions outstanding as at the end of March 2014; the first column of figures represents the balance outstanding of the impositions made during the 2013/14 financial year and the second shows the total value outstanding regardless of imposition date. The \u2018in year outstanding value\u2019 is included within the total outstanding value figure.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The \u2018value outstanding\u2019 figures include 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 financial year) and those that were being paid by instalments on agreed payment plans.
