Are Business Details Footprint on Facebook Ads?

Hello. I wonder if business details in Facebook Ad acct is a footprint? Business name, business address, EU VAT Number ... Will I get banned on new account if I use same data as on old account (different credit card of course)?

Regards

Yes, using the same information on multiple accounts lead to easy banning but you can download the pdf invoices of your charges and explain your accountant the situation.

It's not going to be easy to do things in the most correct, sensible ways if you are dealing with account bans. No 'easy' roads ahead.

Remember Facebook has different billing offices depending on your sign-up location. If you bill via a US ad account (via US headquarters) they won't require an EU VAT number. However if you use an EU account you'll get billed from Ireland and the EU VAT number will be used in most cases.

Regarding to your comment, would you recommend creating all the new FB accounts with US profiles to avoid paying the taxes attached to the VAT ID (and not leaving footprints)?
What would be the best way to manage US based accounts with Europe IPs/Locations?

Are you still stuck with this? This is the exact same problem I've been trying to solve for a while now. Can't do proper tax deductions from operational costs if the invoices have a "weird name" on them.

Same here, that's why I am working with US accounts right now.
