I am currently being billed sales and service tax of 8% on my meta invoice each transactions
This particular 8% is quite a lot to me and i'm wondering if i'm able to make a new ads account and change the country and currency to another country that that does not impose so high taxes or better yet, no tax imposed at all
Please share your output with us and let's try to find ways to decrease our operational cost!
Yes, changing your Meta Ads account’s billing country can potentially reduce or eliminate sales tax, but there are risks and limitations:
1. Creating a New Ad Account in a Low-Tax Country
• Some countries don’t charge sales tax on digital ads (e.g., UAE, Hong Kong).
• You’ll need a valid payment method from that country (local card, PayPal, or VCC).
• Some users create a business entity in a tax-free country to get legit billing.
2. Risks of Changing Billing Country
• Meta tracks IP & payment details—sudden changes can flag/suspend your account.
• Some regions require a local address or tax ID (e.g., GST in India).
• You may lose ad account history & optimizations when switching accounts.
3. Alternative Tax Reduction Strategies
• If you run a registered business, you may be able to claim tax refunds (depending on your country’s tax laws).
• Consider using an agency account based in a low-tax region.
• Some people use third-party ad credit providers (often risky).
