The tax agency collected about 1,000 billion VND in tax from individuals with advertising revenue from Facebook and Google in the last two years - that is information said by Mr. Dang Ngoc Minh, Deputy Director of the General Department of Taxation..

"This tax amount is determined based on data from Facebook and Google paid directly to individuals or through businesses with advertising activities," Mr. Minh said. In addition to some businesses and individuals self-declaring, many cases must go through tax management review to fulfill tax obligations.
