In the 10 years between 2000 and 2009 the government's revenue in income tax and VAT totalled €264,638,504, Finance Minister Tonio Fenech told Parliament in reply to a question by Gozitan Labour MP Anton Refalo.
The amount was made up of €187,319,246 in income tax and €77,319,258 in VAT.
The figure of €11,815,995 for 2009 was incomplete because information on workers' payments under the Final Settlement System was still being collated.
