How VAT Works for Talent in Armenia

Last updated: June 5, 2026

If your tax residence is Armenia, value-added tax (VAT) may apply to the services Lifted provides to you. This article explains when VAT applies, the current rate, and how to manage your VAT information.

When VAT applies

  • VAT applies if your tax residence is set to Armenia and you have not provided a valid Armenia VAT ID.

  • VAT may apply whether you live, have a permanent address, or are temporarily residing in Armenia.

If you move to another country, update your tax information in your account. We’ll automatically adjust the taxes we collect based on your updated residence.

If you update your tax residence, legal name, or other tax details, you may need to revalidate your VAT ID.

Which services VAT applies to

VAT applies to the fees Lifted currently charges for services:

  • Service fees

If we add new paid features in the future and local tax laws require VAT on those services, the applicable tax will appear on your invoice.

VAT rate in Armenia

  • The standard VAT rate in Armenia is 20%.

You can see the estimated VAT amount on your invoices and in your transaction history.

Providing your Armenia VAT ID

You’re not required to provide a VAT ID to use Lifted.

However, if you enter a valid Armenia VAT ID in your tax information, we won’t collect VAT on applicable services. Your VAT ID will appear on your invoices.

If VAT was already collected before you added a valid VAT ID, we’re unable to refund it. Once collected, VAT is remitted directly to the Armenian tax authority. You may be able to claim a credit through your tax authority.

How to add or update your Armenia VAT ID

You can add or update your VAT ID at any time:

  1. Go to Settings and select Tax information.

  2. Scroll to the Value-added tax section and click Edit.

  3. Enter your VAT details.

  4. Select Save.
