Of the total, the central fiscal revenue topped 183.1 billion yuan, up 140 percent from December 2008, while local governments collected 325.3 billion yuan, up 30.2 percent, the MOF said in a statement on its official website.

The ministry attributed the robust revenue growth to a relatively low comparison basis in December 2008, surging consumption tax takes after the oil tax and fees reforms, and rising business tax boosted by a strong domestic property market.

Overall fiscal revenue last year topped 6.85 trillion yuan, up 11.7 percent from 2008, according to the statement.
