The VIC 20 and the C64 use the same tape deck. Is yours a Commodore C2N type? If so, and it has the grey edge connector type plug, it should be fine. The +4 and C16 used almost the same tape deck, but it had a different plug (mini DIN), if it is one of those, then adapters are available, but if you're using it with a C64, then I expect you have one already.

Some of the third party turbo datasettes won't work with the Vic, but the standard 1530 should work just fine.
