These totals sum the IPSA records currently held on this site for each financial year. The newest period can change as IPSA publishes further data. Category names are retained exactly as IPSA published them.

A published total can differ from a simple count of visible individual claims because IPSA also publishes some annual totals and withholds some details for security or data protection. See the methodology.
