A parliamentary question has revealed a total of 120 people were imprisoned since 2000 over offences related with Value Added Tax payments.

The table below presented in the House shows statistics for 2004-2011.

Home Affairs Minister Carm Mifsud Bonnici said the convictions were due to failure to pay VAT, with the resultant fines converted into a prison sentence.
