The case against PN general secretary Paul Borg Olivier by the VAT Department over Dr Borg Olivier’s failure to file a VAT return covering June to August 2006 has been withdrawn as he has now regularised himself.

Dr Borg Olivier was due to appear in court this morning in front of Magistrate Doreen Clarke.

But VAT Department officials said when his name was called that they were withdrawing the case as Dr Borg Olivier has regularised his position.

Dr Borg Olivier said last month that his failure to file the return had been an “oversight” and that he had genuinely thought it had been submitted.

He had regularised his position before he was elected to his post, he said.
