Frequently asked questions
Which platforms work with Armenia?
Steam, the Epic Games Store, GOG, itch.io and others accept Armenian entities without restriction.
Do I have to be in Armenia?
No. Registering the entity and opening the account can be done entirely remotely, under a power of attorney.
Can I change the jurisdiction in my current Steam account?
Yes. The legal details, address and bank account can be changed in an existing account — the specialists explain how to do it correctly.
What documents does Steam need?
As a rule: company details, bank details, the legal address and the tax number. The client gets all of that once the sole trader or LLC is registered.
What do Armenian banks charge?
Account servicing from $5 a month. SWIFT transfers are available and work reliably.
What taxes will I pay?
Steam payouts count as royalty income and are taxed in Armenia at 10%. It's important to register for the simplified regime within 20 days of registering the sole trader.
Can I receive Steam payouts in Armenia without a sole trader?
No. Steam doesn't transfer money to individuals — only to the business account of the sole trader or company named in Steamworks.
