BERLIN, Nov 5 (Reuters) - A panel of tax experts expects Germany's tax take to total 524.1 billion euros ($778.3 billion) in 2009, or 3 billion euros short of a forecast made in May, the Finance Ministry said on Thursday.
However, the panel raised its tax revenue estimate for 2010 to 511.5 billion euros from 510.4 billion seen in May.
