On the 20th January 2012 the Maltese Parliament enacted legislation which provides for the constitution of the office of the Commissioner for Revenue.

The Commissioner for Revenue shall be responsible for the organisational restructuring, supervision and overall administration of the revenue departments, i.e. the Inland Revenue Department, the Value Added Tax Department and the Department of Customs.

Mr Carmel Conti, who previously occupied the post of Commissioner of Inland Revenue, has been appointed to this new post, while Mr Mario Borg has taken over the duties and functions previously carried out by Mr Carmel Conti.
