What is Yandex Direct without VAT and does it work
Yandex Direct without VAT is an account registered to a person living in another country. Export of services abroad is not subject to VAT. Therefore, using such an account, you do not pay VAT.
In simple terms. These are foreign Direct accounts. The payer is actually in another country and does not pay value added tax. Therefore, to get rid of VAT, it is enough to switch to a foreign Direct account.
Updated 06.02.2023: Yandex Direct accounts without VAT do not work for Russia. You can advertise without VAT only outside the Russian Federation.
Updated 01/30/2024: Our team has updated Yandex Direct accounts without VAT. Now you can advertise again in the Russian Federation and the CIS without VAT. More details at the link .
Updated 11/13/24: Due to increasing preparation costs, from January 1, 2025, we are forced to increase the cost of Yandex Direct accounts without VAT to 10,200 rubles.
How a foreign account differs from a Russian one
There are only three differences in a foreign account:
- No VAT, of course.
- Currency dollars - just change the prices once, and there are no problems (Previously, it was possible to top up Yandex Direct accounts without VAT in rubles. Now only dollar accounts can be topped up again)
- Available methods of replenishment - cards issued outside the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus (Can be issued according to our instructions )
Otherwise, the VAT-free Account is completely identical to a regular Russian account:
- The same interface is available in Russian
- You can advertise Russian websites (and websites of any other countries)
- Contact Russian support
- Use Direct Commander
How to top up with rubles from Russia
Under the sanctions Yandex Direct accounts without VAT continue to be replenished directly from foreign cards. Instructions for issuing such cards are available to all our clients
You won't be able to top up your account without VAT directly from a Russian bank card. Yandex won't accept it for payment.
You can top up your balance with any cards, any currency (including rubles and dollars), any banks outside of Russia and Belarus.
At the link you will find detailed instructions on how to top up Yandex Direct without VAT and commission.
How to create
Unlike Russian accounts, Direct accounts from other countries require identity verification through document verification for activation. Additionally, they may request a payment method and a photo with documents in hand.
To create an account, you need a citizen of another country. A friend or relative with citizenship outside the CIS and over 18 years old will do.
Ask them to prepare all the necessary documents and send a link to instructions on how to create a Yandex Direct account without VAT yourself or do it yourself.
Why are accounts created using documents from the Internet dangerous?
Since 2017, Yandex has changed its policy. It collects and stores a database of all documents that have passed verification. There can only be 1 active account for one person's documents.
If documents are used again to create a new account, the previous account is blocked with requirements to confirm identity. The biggest danger is that the balance is blocked along with the account. People continue to contact us with requests to withdraw money from such accounts. But it is almost impossible to unblock without the participation of the owner of the documents.
If you are unable to create an account for a friend or relative from another country, you can purchase a ready-made account created for a foreigner. Each account is created only for 1 person, and direct cooperation with foreigners guarantees protection from blocking.
If the accounts are sold out, you can reserve an account from future batches through support.
