New vanadium(V) complex, $(NH_4)_2[VO_2NTA]$, has been synthesized and its structure has been determined by solution and solid-state NMR spectroscopies as well as X-ray crystallography. The unit cell of the monoclinic crystals contains four complexes with $a=6.923(1){\AA}$, $b=8.824(2){\AA}$, $c=19.218(11){\AA}$ and ${\beta}=91.60(3)^{\circ}$ in the space group of $P2_1/n$. The $[VO_2NTA]^{2-}$ anion has distorted octahedral geometry with cis-$VO_2$ moiety. It is confirmed that the octahedral geometry is retained in both of solution and solid-state complexes.
