System.Text.Decoder utf8Decode = encoder.GetDecoder();
byte[] todecode_byte = Convert.FromBase64String(data);
int charCount = utf8Decode.GetCharCount(todecode_byte, 0, todecode_byte.Length);
char[] decoded_char = new char[charCount];
utf8Decode.GetChars(todecode_byte, 0, todecode_byte.Length, decoded_char, 0);

Assuming it really is UTF-8 which is then base64-encoded, you should just be able to write:

byte[] binary = Convert.FromBase64String(data);
string text = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(binary);

However, it sounds like it wasn't base64-encoded to start with - if you've already got it as text, you should be able to use it without any extra work.
