Total tax collection in 2020 is estimated at over VND1.26 quadrillion (US$54.37 billion), equivalent to 100.6% of the estimate, Deputy Director of the General Department of Taxation Dang Ngoc Minh said on December 31.

After collecting US$11.6 million from violations since early 2020, the General Department of Taxation (GDT) said it would reduce regular tax checks at businesses to help them focus on production to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.
