Figures provided in the statistical publication released on the 2nd January 2014 are available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/legal-aid-statistics-barrister-fee-income-from-public-sources-201213<\/a> and show that when including all 4,931 criminal barristers' payments, the mean average payment for 2012/13 was £72,010. This includes those barristers that may have provided legal assistance in only a small number of instances within this time period, and payments from both the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and Legal Aid Agency (LAA). The release also contains information on the data and methodology used.<\/p>

<\/p>

The statistics provided in the publication and supporting documents included VAT and other additional costs due to the structure of the data obtained from the administrative systems within LAA, and also those provided by the CPS were aggregated figures that already included VAT. The basis of the calculations were set out in the publication.<\/p>
