To the tax authorities?  Thanks!

Have you received a tax file number?

Ah - I've heard something about that.  Interesting.  Is it possible for me to request a tax number from my company in order for me to file an inquiry with the ministry of finance?  That is, is my company legally obligated to provide me with a tax file number upon request?  Because this might be the solution to my problem. 

Thanks.

You can check it online at the govt website  Tax number  click on cá nhân( individual) put your passport number in the first box, 3rd box put the code you see to verify it.

How long have you been here, if its short time you may not be registered yet.

This is my second year here (with this company) - so, in theory, I should be registered. 
Again, thanks.

Thank you.
That's a useful piece of information.

I just found out that I have a tax number.

My tax status is "NNT đang hoạt động (đã được cấp GCN ĐKT)".
Do you know what that means?
I don't actually have to pay taxes because I don't have any income.

Yes you should have by now. Have you checked in the system to see if you have a tax file number.

What is maximmm's recourse if he finds that his company has been withdrawing from his salary but not giving the money to the government on his behalf?  My guess would be almost nothing. 

I expect that only thing to do would be to resign as quietly as possible without attracting undue attention and to look for a new job.  Raising a big fuss could result in being let go by the company, while at the same time the government comes after him for the taxes.

If his contract ststes that his employer will pay the tax, he should be ok. I would just resign as you said and move on.
