Answer 1

You would need to import your AWS account responsible for the billing (Control Tower account) into AFT, for that you just need to import it as any other account which already exists before AFT is deployed.

• https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/import-existing-aws-control-tower-accounts-to-account-factory-for-terraform/
• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/controltower/latest/userguide/aft-update-account.html

Then you will have a customisation pipeline for you Control Tower account. There you can add the terraform code to create the cost allocation tags https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/ce_cost_allocation_tag

After importing the CT account you can also start to manage SCPs, SSO, Police tags, etc as code.
