Advertisers in Argentina

Tax requirements can differ depending on whether your payment method is set to invoicing or manual payments. See the information below that applies to your payment method.

Manual payments

How taxes are calculated on Banelco or PagoMisCuentas.com payments

When you make a payment, we assume that you included the amount that you wanted credited to your account as well as the correct percentage of this amount to cover all applicable taxes. Depending on your tax status, we'll set aside one or more taxes from your Banelco or PagoMisCuentas.com payment before crediting your Google Ads account with the remainder:

VAT at 21%: We apply a perception of 21% VAT to all advertisers' manual payments.
VAT at 3%: This tax applies only if you have registered with the government for VAT (IVA responsable inscripto) but are not registered as a VAT Withholding Agent and do not have an exclusion certificate for VAT.
GRT Perceptions: We apply perceptions for GRT in the provinces where you're registered as a business and Google is a perception agent. We'll need your tax documents to identify your GRT status in each province.

You'll see the perception reflected in your monthly invoice. GRT taxes are calculated based on your VAT category, GRT status and other factors listed on your GRT tax documents for each province (for example, CM01, CM02, CM05). These perceptions might change in the future, so it’s important that you provide your updated CM01, CM02 and CM05 tax documents. Currently, Google Argentina collects taxes for the following seven provinces:

Buenos Aires City

Buenos Aires Province

Corrientes

Misiones

Neuquén

San Luis

Chaco

We determine whether you're subject to VAT and/or GRT Perceptions from the tax ID and documents that you enter when you create your account. The following tax documents will help us to determine the correct tax rates to apply:

F.460/J (Inscripción AFIP) – Federal tax document

CM01/CM02 (Inscripción IIBB) – Provincial GRT tax document

CM05 – Provincial GRT tax document

Inscripción Ingresos Brutos (IIBB) Local

Exención en Ingresos Brutos or GRT Exempt in each province

Exención IVA / Ganancias

Carta Certificado de Exclusión (Certificate of Exclusion)

Perception Agent named (by province)

Note

It's important for you to provide tax documents when you create your account. If we don’t have the updated tax documents, then federal and provincial tax regulations require us to charge you at the highest tax rates, which could affect your total costs.

Getting legal receipts for Banelco or PagoMisCuentas.com payments

Banelco issues a legal receipt for every payment made using the Banelco network. A four-digit control code will be included to guarantee the authenticity of the receipt.

Depending on how you make a payment, you'll receive a receipt in one of three ways:

From the ATM where you made a payment

Print it off the PagoMisCuentas.com website

Print it off your bank's online banking website

You'll get a type A invoice if you entered a valid CUIT for a VAT-registered company.

For DNI, you'll get a type B invoice.

GRT Perceptions

GRT is a gross income identification number. When you sign up for Google Ads, you must enter your ID or CUIT number. However, the field Gross Revenue Identification (GRT ID) isn't required because not all advertisers are subject to GRT.

What GRT is

The GRT ID is the identification number of gross income tax. Gross Income Tax is the main financial resource for provincial governments. In general, it's calculated solely on sales and the amount of tax is different in each province.

Where to enter GRT

If you select Banelco or PagoMisCuentas.com as your payment method when you sign up for your Google Ads account, then we’ll ask for your DNI or your CUIT (tax ID). If you choose CUIT, you'll have the option to enter a GRT ID. It's important to enter your GRT number without hyphens or spaces. You'll also need to upload tax documents for both VAT and GRT.

How to tell if you're liable

For Buenos Aires city GRT, follow these steps to see if your company is liable for GRT Perceptions, and if so, at what rate:

Visit http://arba.gov.ar/
Enter your tax ID (CUIT) and your company's password. If you don't know the password, then please consult your company's finance department.
Select Rol: contribuyente.
In the menu at the top left, titled "Regimen de recaudación por", select Consulta al padrón.
Select the month for which you want to see the rate.

Value Added Tax (VAT) in Taiwan

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a 5% tax on goods and services that is paid to the Taiwanese tax authority. How and whether you pay VAT in Taiwan depends on your payment method and setting. select the method or setting that applies to your account below.

Automatic or manual payments by credit card

If you pay for your Google Ads account by credit card, you've signed an agreement with Google Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. and therefore do not owe VAT.

Manual payments by money transfer, convenience store or post office

If you pay for your Google Ads account by money transfer, convenience store or post office, you've signed an agreement with Google Taiwan stipulating that you owe VAT on your Google Ads charges. To cover this tax, Google will automatically pass a portion of each of your payments to the Taiwanese tax authority. We'll send you a Government Uniform Invoice (GUI) for each payment that you make detailing how much you paid in VAT.

How VAT is calculated for manual payments via money transfer, convenience store or post office

Here's how we calculate the VAT deduction from your Google Ads payment:

When you make a payment, we assume that you have included the amount that you wanted crediting to your account, as well as 5% of this amount to cover VAT. In other words, if you make a payment of X, then we break the amount down into Y and 5% of Y. We credit your account with Y and pay 5% of Y in VAT.

This is the equation that we use:

X = Y + (0.05 * Y)
X = 1.05 * Y
Y = X/1.05

Example

Let's say that you have made a payment of NTD 1,050. To determine how much to credit your account, we would calculate:

Y = NTD 1,050/1.05
Y = NTD 1,000

We'd credit your account NTD 1,000 and pass the remaining NTD 50 to your government's tax authority as VAT.

Credit line (monthly invoicing) payment settings

If you have a Google Ads account on credit line (monthly invoicing), you've signed an agreement with Google Taiwan stipulating that you owe VAT on your Google Ads charges. Your monthly invoice will include a VAT tax assessment, and we'll send you a Government Uniform Invoice (GUI) along with each invoice detailing how much you owe in VAT.

About Government Uniform Invoices (GUIs)

What a Government Uniform Invoice (GUI) is

Business entities selling goods or services in Taiwan need to issue a Government Uniform Invoice (GUI) to the buyer at the time of purchase, as stipulated in the Time Limit for Issuing Sales Documentary Evidence section of Taiwan's Value-added and Non-value-added Business Tax Act.

In accordance with this Act, Google will issue you a GUI each time you make a payment (i.e. purchase advertising services) if your Google Ads account meets the following criteria:

Has a business address in Taiwan
Uses the New Taiwanese Dollar (NTD)
Uses manual payments or credit line (monthly invoicing)
Was created after a certain date

Advertisers with an account that meets these criteria have signed a contract with Google Taiwan. All other advertisers have signed contracts with other Google entities, and we therefore do not issue them with GUIs.

One of the purposes of the GUI is to track all Value-Added Tax (VAT) that a business or individual pays. It's therefore important to hold on to your GUIs for filing tax returns.

Your GUI will contain the following information:

GUI ID
Sales amount
VAT
Total amount
Your tax ID, if you selected Business in the 'Tax Status' field when creating your account
Description of the service (e.g. Online Advertising)

A few more things to note:

If you selected Business in the Tax Status field when you created your account, we'll issue you a “Business basic format” GUI. Otherwise, we'll issue you an “Individual basic format” GUI.
You'll receive a GUI within four weeks of making a payment.
The title of your GUI will be the company name that you entered in your 'Payments profile' on the Settings page. You can edit this information at any time.

GUI delays

You'll receive a Government Uniform Invoice (GUI) within four weeks of making a payment. If you haven't received a GUI by then, then contact us and request another.

It's possible that your GUI was lost in the post. However, just to be safe, please check to make sure that the address on your Google Ads account's "Payments profile" page is correct. Follow these steps:

Sign in to your Google Ads account at https://ads.google.com.
Click the tools icon and under 'Billing', choose Billing summary, then click the Settings link on the side of the page.
Click Edit and make any necessary changes.
Click Save.

Changing the company name on your GUI

The company name that you enter in your account's 'Payments profile' will show as the title for your Government Uniform Invoice (GUI). Follow these instructions to change your GUI title:

Sign in to your Google Ads account at https://ads.google.com.
Click the tools icon and under 'Billing', choose Billing summary, then click the Settings link on the side of the page.
Make your changes in the ‘Payments profile’ section.
Click Save.

Your tax ID on your GUI

Your tax ID will show on your GUI if you selected 'Business' in the 'Tax status' field when you set up your account. You'll also find your tax ID on your Google Ads account's 'Payments profile' section. Here's how to get there:

Sign in to your Google Ads account at https://ads.google.com.
Click the tools icon and under 'Billing', choose Billing summary, then click the Settings link on the side of the page.

Please note that we can't give you VAT advice. If you have general questions about VAT, then contact the Taiwanese tax authority.

Value Added Tax (VAT) in China

VAT (value added tax) is a tax on supplied goods or services. Google Advertising (Shanghai) Google Ads users with billing addresses in China are subject to VAT.

As of 1 January 2012, Google Advertising (Shanghai) became a VAT payer under the Shanghai VAT Pilot Programme. As of 1 April 2012, Google Advertising (Shanghai) has charged and collected VAT on all advertising services that it provides, and has only issued VAT Fapiaos to advertisers. The VAT amount is reflected in the VAT Fapiao that is issued to you.

Google Advertising (Shanghai) cannot provide tax advice. Please consult your tax advisor or tax consultant if you have questions about how the Shanghai VAT Pilot Programme affects your business and tax obligations, to determine your VAT status, or to determine what information your VAT Fapiao should contain.

VAT charges

Under the Shanghai VAT pilot program, Google Advertising (Shanghai) is required to charge 6% VAT for all clients, even if they aren't based in Shanghai. There are no exceptions.

For customers other than manual payments customers, your invoices reflect the VAT charged on your invoice balance at a 6% rate.

For customers using manual payments, Google deducts 6% VAT from your prepayment amount. For example, if you have prepaid 1,000 CNY, then the amount credited to your account balance will be 943.40 CNY, after deducting 56.60 CNY for VAT.

About Special VAT Fapiaos

Google Advertising (Shanghai) issues Special VAT Fapiaos to customers who are General VAT payers. A Special VAT Fapiao is proof of tax payment that may allow you to claim VAT input credits if you're properly registered with the tax authorities as a General VAT payer.

In order to issue the Special VAT Fapiao, Google Advertising (Shanghai) needs you to provide a scanned copy of your tax registration certificate (the first page and the following page including the VAT tax registration status). We accept the following types of files for your scanned tax registration certificate: PNG, GIF, JPEG and TIFF. The file must be no larger than 5 MB.

In addition, the following information that you provide will be printed on your Special VAT Fapiao, and must exactly match your tax registration certificate, if it's listed there:

Business Name
VAT tax registration status (General VAT payer)
Tax registration ID
Registered address
Registered telephone number
Bank account details (bank name, account number)

If you want to have your Special VAT Fapiao delivered to an address other than your registered address, you can provide a separate postal address by editing your Payments account.

If the information that you provide doesn't match your tax registration certificate, or if your scanned tax registration certificate is invalid, corrupted or unreadable, then Google Advertising (Shanghai) won't be able to issue your Special VAT Fapiao. If this happens then we'll email you, asking you to correct the missing or incorrect information. Once you have made the necessary corrections, then we'll be able to issue the Special VAT Fapiaos to you.

About General VAT Fapiaos

Google Advertising (Shanghai) issues General VAT Fapiaos to customers that are registered as small-scale VAT payers, non-VAT payers or individuals. A General VAT Fapiao is official proof of tax payment, but it cannot be used to claim VAT input credits. The following information that you provide will be printed on your General VAT Fapiao:

Business Name
VAT tax registration status
Tax registration ID (except individuals)
Postal address
Telephone number

Opting out of VAT Fapiaos

If you don't want to get VAT Fapiaos for your advertising activity, you can opt out by selecting the 'Do not send me tax invoices' option in your Payments profile. Until you change this option, Google Advertising (Shanghai) won't attempt to deliver VAT Fapiaos to you.

However, bear in mind that if you opt out of getting VAT Fapiaos, Google Advertising (Shanghai) is still required to charge 6% VAT for all clients and report VAT activity to the appropriate tax authorities.

You can change your VAT ID yourself. Click the link below to see how.

Change your VAT ID

In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon .
Click Settings.
Under the 'Payer details' section, locate 'Ireland tax info' and then click Manage tax info.
On the next page click Add tax info and add your VAT registration number.
Click Submit.

A common mistake is to enter a tax number instead of the VAT registration number. The two numbers are different. VAT registration numbers start with a country-specific ID, followed by a maximum of 12 characters (numbers or letters). Visit the European Commission's website if you'd like to check that your VAT registration number is valid.

Find and download your VAT invoice

Note that in your country taxes are charged at the time of payment. If you’re using the manual payment option, you’ll get two sets of invoices: one at the time of prepayment, and another at the end of the month (which no longer displays 'Record of Costs and Taxes' and 'Record of payments received' sections). If you’re using the automatic payment option, you’ll receive one invoice at the end of the month, which no longer displays 'Record of Costs and Taxes' and 'Record of payments received' sections.

Here's how to find an invoice in your account:

In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon .
Click Documents.
In the table, tick the box to the left of the invoices that you’d like to download.
- To select all of the documents that appear in your table, tick the box in the very top left of the table.
Click on the Download selected button at the top right-hand corner of the table.
Choose the format that you’d like to use to download your invoices.
Select Download.

The local tax invoices will automatically download to your computer in the selected format for viewing or printing.

VAT invoice availability

A VAT invoice for a particular month is available starting on the 5th working day of the following month. For example, your September VAT invoice will be ready by 5 October. VAT invoices are not generated on weekends or bank holidays, so you can expect a delay getting your VAT invoice over those periods.

Discrepancies between your monthly billing activity and your invoice

Sometimes, the charges that you see in your monthly billing activity under 'Summary' are off by a day or two from those that you see on your invoice. In most cases this is expected because Google Ads and banks operate on different systems. Payments and charges don’t always happen at the same time.

If you have received an account adjustment or credit and used the credit within the same billing period, then this may also cause your VAT invoice to differ from your transaction history.

Invoices are legally valid

The invoices from your Google Ads account are historical invoices. They show your payment requests (that is, they include a line item whenever we initiated a charge or you made a payment to Google.)

Invoices are legally valid – this means that they'll be accepted by your local tax authorities.

Our invoices are accepted by various tax authorities as valid VAT invoices, with VAT deductions included, and don’t require a special stamp or signature.

If you have questions, contact your local legislature or tax adviser.

Value Added Tax (VAT) and Google Ads status

All Google Ads accounts in South Africa are subject to VAT at the South African rate, which can change at the South African government's discretion. Here's a look at what you can expect if you're in South Africa:

You'll always be subject to VAT charges at the current South African rate, as required by South African legislation as of 1 April 2019.
- If you're on automatic payments, we'll add VAT costs to your Google Ads costs once at the end of every month, to be paid the next time that you're charged.
- If you're on manual payments, we'll subtract VAT costs from your balance before it's depleted, once at the end of every month.

Google can't give advice about VAT, so if you have a question about VAT registration, contact your tax advisor or revenue commissioner.

For Branch Office taxpayers

If you identify as a Branch Office taxpayer, you must provide your 22-digit Nomor Identitas Tempat Kegiatan Usaha (NITKU) to receive Faktur Pajak documents from Google. The 22-digit NITKU will appear on your Faktur Pajak once the new regulations go into effect in 2025.

Taxes in India

If you're located in India, you'll be charged a goods and services tax (GST) on all the purchases that you make.

GST is a dual taxation model where both the Indian states and the Indian central government apply tax on services and goods.

GST consists of three types of taxes: central tax, state tax and integrated tax. Google’s location that provides the services and your purchase location determine which tax is applied to your purchase. The following are the rates:

Central GST (CGST) rate: 9%
State GST (SGST) rate : 9%
Integrated GST (IGST) rate: 18%

Note:

Advertisers with a bill-to address in Haryana (namely, intra-state service) are charged with CGST and SGST rates. All others are charged with the IGST rate.
GST for SEZ advertisers is 0%.

If you're receiving services from Google India Private Limited (GIPL), then your tax ID will determine which tax is applied to your purchase. Goods and Services Tax Identification Numbers (GSTINs) are mandatory for business accounts, but optional for individual accounts.

Where to submit GSTIN

If you use the monthly invoicing payment setting, contact your account manager or email us to submit your GSTIN.

All other advertisers can enter their information by navigating to 'Billing & payments', then clicking 'Settings' from the menu on the left. In your 'Payments Profile', you'll notice a section called 'India Tax info' where you can enter any relevant ID numbers.

For agency-handled accounts, ensure that the address and GST provided correspond to the company and state paying for the invoices and claiming GST. If the 'Bill-to' company name and address in your invoice differ from the company actually paying the invoices, update the bill-to address.

For business or individual accounts, ensure that the address and GSTIN provided are of the location where the services would be received. This means that the GSTIN should correspond to the state reflecting in the 'Bill-to' address in your invoices. If the GSTIN doesn't match the state of the bill-to address, the invoice is deemed to be issued to an unregistered customer and reported accordingly in Google’s GST returns.

This information ensures that the correct taxes are assessed.

Bear in mind:

Advertisers who use automatic or manual payments have taxes assessed and charged once per month, at the end of the month.
Google can't advise on tax matters. Contact your company’s tax adviser for any questions about this change.

About Tax Deducted at the Source (TDS)

TDS certificates are required every quarter. More information can be found on the Income Tax Department of India website.

Certificates for quarters ending in June, September, December and March need to be issued in Form 16A within 15 days from the due date of filing of TDS return – specifically by 15 August, 15 November, 15 February and 15 June.

No TDS certificates for the previous financial year are accepted if they're sent after 15 June of the current financial year. For example, TDS certificates for fiscal year 2021–2022 should be sent no later than 15 June 2022.

Google's Permanent Account Number (PAN) is AACCG0527D and the registered address on the TDS certificate should be the following:

Google India Pvt. Ltd.

No.3, RMZ Infinity, Tower E,

Old Madras Road, 4th & 5th Floor,

Bangalore – 560 016

Sending Tax Deducted at the Source (TDS) certificate

If your account uses monthly invoicing, send a digital copy of the TDS certificate – either electronically signed or a PDF scan of the signed certificate – directly to [email protected].

If your account uses manual or automatic payments, send a digital copy of the TDS certificate – either electronically signed or a PDF scan of the signed certificate – to us by email. After the credit amount has been approved, it'll be added to your account.

How much TDS

The current rate of TDS for advertising-related payments to Google India Private Limited is 2% excluding GST (per Circular No. 23 of 2017 dated 19 July 2017 issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes, Ministry of Finance and Government of India). However, the rate of TDS is subject to change according to government regulations. Note that Google Ads can't advise on tax matters. If you have more questions regarding TDS or other tax matters, check with a tax consultant.

Declaration under 206AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961

Google has filed the income tax returns for the 2 assessment years relevant to the 2 previous years immediately prior to the previous year in which tax is required to be deducted, for which the time limit of filing the return of income specified under Section 139(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (the Act) has expired.

Accordingly, Google doesn't satisfy the definition of 'specified person' as provided under the provisions of Section 206AB of the Income-tax Act, 1961 and hence, the higher rate of withholding tax provided doesn't apply.

Taxes in Russia

All Google Ads advertisers with a Russian billing address are charged 20% Value Added Tax (VAT) for all their Google Ads costs, with no exceptions.

Here's a look at what you can expect if you're in the Russian Federation:

Whether you select "Business", “Individual entrepreneur” or "Personal" as your tax status, you'll always be subject to VAT charges at the current Russian rate, as required by Russian legislation. (Your account is served by Google Russia.)
You'll see the VAT charges by clicking the tools icon and choosing Billing summary under 'Billing'. VAT is charged on actual usage.

VAT on USN

According to tax regulations in Russia, if you're on USN, you're not supposed to pay VAT for goods and services that you are selling or buying. However, when you're buying goods or services from a company operating under the general tax regime, you pay VAT included in the price of the product or service. Since OOO 'Google' is operating under general tax regime, you'll also pay VAT for Google Ads.

Bear in mind that Google can't give advice about VAT. So if you have a question about VAT registration, then contact your tax adviser or revenue commissioner.

Changing your tax status

When you sign up for Google Ads, you'll need to choose a tax status of Personal, Individual entrepreneur or Business. If you need to change your tax status, please contact us. Any changes won't affect previous transactions or accounting documents, and will only be effective starting from the date that we make the change.

If you'd like your Google Ads account to be for a different registered company (with a different INN), please contact us. Any changes won't affect previous transactions or accounting documents, and will only be effective starting from the date that we make the change.

Change your company name

If your company name has changed, contact us. In order to update this information, we need a scanned copy of your tax certificate stating your tax IDs and registered company name. Once we receive and verify your tax certificate, we'll change the company name that appears in your Google Ads account and on your monthly invoices. We'll let you know when we've done so.

Note

Correct your INN

If your Google Ads account has an incorrect INN (tax ID), it can be changed only if it was mistyped when creating your Google Ads account.

Calculating VAT

You can see your VAT charges by clicking the tools icon Google Ads | tools [Icon] and choosing Billing summary under 'Billing', then clicking Transactions from the menu on the left.

How VAT is calculated

VAT is charged based on the value of your accrued clicks and impressions.

Usage + VAT = Payment amount

When VAT is charged

VAT may be charged once at the end of the month based on the costs accrued during the month of service.

Example

Say your Google Ads account receives a payment on 10 June for RUB 100.
Usage accrues each day until that payment of RUB 100 is completely spent on 25 June.
A VAT line item appears on 25 June showing the VAT charge taken from the RUB 100 payment.

Example

Say your Google Ads account receives a payment on 25 June for RUB 100.
By the end of the month (30 June) RUB 50 of the payment has been spent. A VAT line item appears on 30 June showing the VAT charge taken on the RUB 50 usage.

Note that VAT charges may cover the taxed amount for more than one payment if more than one payment is completely spent.

VAT on promotional credit or adjustments

If you earned a reward from a promotional offer or any other type of credit adjustment, then VAT will automatically be applied to the usage paid by this credit. This amount of VAT will then be refunded completely once the total credit is spent, or refunded partially at the end of the same month if the credit is only partially spent.

If you have any trouble understanding VAT charges, please contact us.

VAT and 'Your remaining credit'

The Summary page has two sections stating the balance of your account:

The 'Your remaining credit' section above the table shows the amount left for advertising activity and an estimated amount of future VAT charges. Tick this field to estimate the amount of money that's left in your account.
The 'Balance' column in the transaction history table: Shows your account balance without including any estimated future VAT charges on unused payment amounts.

The bids and budgets that you set on the "Campaigns" tab don't include VAT.

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a 10% tax on goods and services that is paid to the Korean tax authority. How and whether you pay VAT in Korea depends on your payment method.

If you are a corporate advertiser (account type is 'Organisation') and have provided a valid BRN (Business Registration Number), we will provide you an electronic VAT invoice for each month, which can be used for your tax filing purposes. If your payment method is debit card or credit card, you will also receive a debit or credit card receipt from the payment processor.

For corporate advertisers who receive both the electronic VAT invoice and the debit or credit card receipt, continue to use the electronic VAT invoice for tax filing purposes.

Choose the payment method that applies to your account below.

Manual and automatic payments by debit or credit card

If you sign an agreement with Google Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd.:

From 1 July 2019 onwards, in accordance with local laws in South Korea, Google has started adding value added tax (VAT) of 10% to all transactions, unless you're a corporate advertiser and have provided a valid Business Registration number per the format xxx-xx-xxxxx.

If you sign an agreement with Google Korea LLC:

We will add a value added tax (VAT) of 10% to all transactions. You'll find an amount listed for VAT for your ad spending on the 'Billing transactions' page.

If you are a corporate advertiser and have provided a valid Business Registration number, you'll receive an electronic VAT invoice for each month, which can be used for your tax filing purposes, within the first 10 days of the following month. The invoice is emailed to the main billing contact in your account by Google's local invoicing partner, MakeBill. This invoice will show the amount that was used to calculate VAT. If you're an individual advertiser, you will not receive any electronic VAT invoice.

In addition, you will also receive a credit or debit card receipt from your card payment processor. If you receive both electronic VAT invoice and credit or debit card receipt, continue to use the electronic VAT invoice for tax filing purposes.

You can update your VAT information at any time in your account. Here's how:

Sign into your Google Ads account.
Click the tools icon and choose Summary under 'Billing & payments'.
Click Settings along the side of the page.
Find the 'Payments profile' and make your changes.

Manual payments by LG U+

When you make an LG U+ payment, we automatically deduct 10% VAT from your payment to use against your anticipated advertising costs. We then serve your ads with the remaining amount of the payment. As your ads run, we pay VAT every month based on the advertising costs you've accrued that month.

On the 'Billing transactions' page, you'll find an amount listed for VAT for each payment. If you are a corporate advertiser, you'll receive an electronic VAT invoice for each month, which can be used for your tax filing purposes, within the first 10 days of the next month. The invoice is emailed to the main billing contact in your account by Google's local invoicing partner, MakeBill. This invoice will show the amount that was used to calculate VAT. If you're an individual advertiser, you will not receive any electronic VAT invoice.

Note that LG U+ will provide you with a receipt for each of your payments. This receipt cannot be used for your VAT report.

Updating your VAT information

You can update your VAT information at any time in your account using the following steps:

Sign into your Google Ads account.
Click the tools icon and choose Summary under 'Billing & payments'.
Click Settings along the side of the page.
Find the 'Payments profile' and make your changes.
Click Save when you've finished.

Monthly invoicing payment settings

If you have a Google Ads account on monthly invoicing and are using the KRW currency, we'll charge you 10% VAT based on your monthly advertising costs. If you are not using the KRW currency, you've signed an agreement with Google Asia Pacific and are subject to VAT if you have not provided a valid Business Registration Number.

For customers using the KRW currency, a link to a local tax invoice will be emailed every month to the primary billing contact by MakeBill, Google's local invoicing partner. To update your VAT information or change the email address that your local tax invoice is sent to, contact us.

If you're an advertiser in Mexico on manual payments or monthly invoicing, Google will charge you 16% to cover Impuesto sobre Valor Agregado (IVA). How this happens depends on your payment setting. Click the appropriate link below to learn more.

Monthly invoicing payments setting

If you're on monthly invoicing, Google adds 16% of your costs to your invoice to cover IVA.

Automatic payments setting

We will add the Impuesto sobre Valor Agregado (IVA) tax of 16% to all transactions. You'll find an amount listed for IVA for your ad spending on the 'Billing activity' page.

If you have provided a valid RFC (Registro Federal de Contribuyentes) number, you'll receive an electronic invoice for each month, within the first five days of the following month. The invoice is emailed to the main billing contact in your account by Google's local invoicing partner, Edicom. This invoice will show the amount that was used to calculate IVA.

In addition, you will also receive a credit or debit card receipt from your card payment processor.

Manual payments setting

Google deducts 16% from all your manual payments to cover IVA. Google will then credit your account with the remainder.

When you make a payment, Google assumes that you included the amount you wanted credited to your account as well as 16% of this amount to cover IVA.

This means that if you make a payment of X, Google will break the amount down into Y and 16% of Y, which together equal X. Google will credit your account Y and pay 16% of Y in tax to the Mexican tax authority.

This is the equation Google uses, where X is the amount of your payment and Y is the amount credited to your account:

X = Y + (0.16 * Y)
X = 1.16 * Y
Y = X/1.16

Here's a more specific example:

Pretend you made a payment of $116 MXN. To determine how much to credit your account (Y), Google would calculate:

Y = MXN 116/1.16
Y = MXN 100

We'd credit your account MXN 100 and pass the remaining MXN 16 to the Mexican tax authority.

How to change your tax information

If you entered incorrect tax information, please contact us and send the correct tax information. a Google Ads specialist will contact you to confirm the change. However, we're unable to re-issue invoices that were generated before the tax information was updated in your Google Ads account.

Taxes in Ukraine

All Google advertisers that pay by bank transfer and have a Ukraine billing address are subject to Value Added Tax (VAT) charges at the current Ukrainian rate of 20%, as required by Ukrainian legislation.

If your account is served by Google Ukraine, according to tax regulations in Ukraine, when you’re buying goods or services from a company operating under the general tax regime, you pay VAT included in the prices of the product or service. Since 'Google Ukraine' is operating under the general tax regime, you’ll also pay VAT for Google Ads.

About VAT

How VAT is calculated

VAT is calculated based on the value of your accrued advertising costs, such as clicks or impressions.

Advertising costs + VAT = Payment amount

When VAT is charged

VAT may be charged:

Once a payment has been completely spent in the account, or
At the end of the month if a payment is only partially spent

Example: Payment fully spent in a month

Say your Google Ads account receives a payment on 10 June for UAH 200.

Advertising costs accrue each day until that payment of UAH 200 is completely spent on 25 June.
A VAT line item appears on 25th June on your main Billing page showing the VAT charge taken from the UAH 200 payment.

Example: Payment partially spent in a month

Say your Google Ads account receives a payment on 10 June for UAH 200.

By the end of the month, 30 June, only UAH 100 of the payment has been spent. A VAT line item appears on 30 June on your main Billing page showing the VAT charge taken on the UAH 100 advertising costs.
Suppose that the remaining balance of that payment is spent by July 3. A VAT line item appears on 3 July on your main Billing page showing the VAT charge taken on the remaining UAH 100.

Note that VAT charges may cover the taxed amount of more than one payment if more than one payment is completely spent on a single day.

If you have any trouble understanding VAT charges, please contact us.

VAT on adjustments or promotional credit

If you have a credit from a promotional offer or any other type of credit adjustment, then VAT will first be automatically applied to the advertising costs paid for by the credit. Then, once the total credit has been spent, the deducted VAT charges will be refunded to your account. If the credit has only been partially spent, the deducted VAT charges will be partially refunded at the end of the same month.

VAT and your account's 'Current balance'

To find your current balance, visit your Billing 'Transactions' or 'Summary' pages by clicking the tools icon Google Ads | tools [Icon] and choosing Billing summary under 'Billing'. You'll find places that show your account balance:

Summary: "Your balance" section shows your balance that can be fully spent on future advertising activity.
- The field "Credit remaining" shows the amount that's left for advertising activity and an estimated amount of future VAT charges. Tick this field to estimate the amount of money that's left in your account.
Transactions: The "Balance" column in the transaction history table shows your account balance (calculated by subtracting the amount in the "Credits" column from the amount in the "Debits" column) without including any estimated future VAT charges on unused payment amounts.

The bids and budgets that you set in your campaigns don't include VAT.

Account type

For the Account type, you can select either an Organisation or Individual.

Organisation

Choose this setting if you're signing up for someone other than yourself or other than in your name. For example, choose this setting if you represent a business, organisation, partnership or educational institution, or choose this setting if you are a sole proprietor signing up under a trade name.

Individual

Choose this setting if you're signing up in your own name and will use the account for your own purposes. For example, choose this setting if you are a sole entrepreneur signing up in your own name and for your own use. If you're registered as an Individual, you won't be able to add or remove users, or change permissions to your payments profile.

Purpose of use

Select Business if the purpose of use is for business or commercial services. Business use means that you'd like to see an economic benefit from your advertising, such as increased revenue, sales or signups. This includes affiliates, sole traders, self-employed merchants, partnerships and others.

Alternatively select Eligible non-business if the purpose of use is only for political, charitable or non-profit activity.

Note: Purpose of use setting will be visible only during the initial signup of the account. Google Ads should be used predominantly for business purposes in the European Union.

Tax information

Tax treatment is determined by your Purpose of use. Tax status and optional VAT ID setting will appear after you’ve selected account type and purpose of use. If you sign up for other Google products, tax treatment for the other products may be determined in some cases by tax status. The 'Purpose of use' setting is permanent and will affect the way you assess and report VAT.

Organisation tax status means that the tax ID that you entered is associated with an organisation account type.

Individual tax status means that the tax ID that you entered is associated with an individual account type.

Google can't give advice about VAT. If you have any questions about VAT registration, contact your tax adviser or revenue commissioner.

Self-assess your VAT

Check with your local tax authority to see if you're required to self-assess VAT in your country. If that's the case, then you'll need to do this with the help of your tax adviser or local tax authority as Google can't advise you.

Good to know

If your account is served by Google France SARL, we’ll need your VAT, SIRET or SIREN number depending on your tax status.
If your account is served by Google Ireland Limited:
- We don't add VAT charges to your account unless you selected 'Eligible non-business' Purpose of use during sign-up.
- You'll be responsible for self-assessing and paying VAT at your EU member state's local rate (in accordance with Article 44 of EU Council Directive 2006/112/EC).

Changing your VAT ID

You can change your VAT ID yourself. Click the link below to see how.

Change your VAT ID

In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon .
Click Settings.
Under the 'Payer details' section, locate 'France tax info' and click on the pencil icon , then click the Manage tax info link.
Click the Add tax info button.
Enter your VAT ID number.
Click Submit.

A common mistake is to enter a tax number instead of the VAT registration number. The two numbers are different. VAT registration numbers start with a country-specific ID, followed by a maximum of 12 characters (numbers or letters). Visit the European Commission's website if you'd like to check that your VAT registration number is valid.

Find and download your VAT invoice

Note that in your country taxes are charged at the time of payment. If you’re using the manual payment option, you’ll get two sets of invoices: one at the time of prepayment, and another at the end of the month (which no longer displays 'Record of Costs and Taxes' and 'Record of payments received' sections). If you’re using the automatic payment option, you’ll receive one invoice at the end of the month, which no longer displays 'Record of Costs and Taxes' and 'Record of payments received' sections.

Here's how to find an invoice in your account:

In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon .
Click Documents.
In the table, tick the box to the left of the invoices that you’d like to download.
- To select all of the documents that appear in your table, tick the box in the very top left of the table.
Click on the Download selected button at the top right-hand corner of the table.
Choose the format that you’d like to use to download your invoices.
Click Download.

The local tax invoices will automatically download to your computer in the selected format for viewing or printing.

VAT invoice availability

A VAT invoice for a particular month is available starting on the 5th working day of the following month. For example, your September VAT invoice will be ready by 5 October. VAT invoices are not generated on weekends or bank holidays, so you can expect a delay getting your VAT invoice over those periods.

Discrepancies between your monthly billing activity and your invoice

Sometimes, the charges that you see in your monthly billing activity under 'Summary' are off by a day or two from those that you see on your invoice. In most cases this is expected because Google Ads and banks operate on different systems. Payments and charges don’t always happen at the same time.

If you have received an account adjustment or credit and used the credit within the same billing period, then this may also cause your VAT invoice to differ from your transaction history.

Invoices are legally valid

The invoices from your Google Ads account are historical invoices. They show your payment requests (that is, they include a line item whenever we initiated a charge or you made a payment to Google.)

Invoices are legally valid – this means that they'll be accepted by your local tax authorities.

Our invoices are accepted by various tax authorities as valid VAT invoices, with VAT deductions included, and don’t require a special stamp or signature.

If you have questions, contact your local legislature or tax adviser.

Note: Luxembourg has introduced an increase in Value Added Tax (VAT) from 16% to 17% from 1 January 2024. This change may affect Google Ads accounts with a Luxembourg business address.

When you create your account, you'll be asked to confirm your account type, purpose of use of the account, and tax status. These settings will affect the way that you assess and report VAT. They are permanent and can’t be changed after you complete your billing signup, so make your selection very carefully. These settings may also be used for advertiser identity verification.

Account type

For the Account type, you can select either an Organisation or Individual.

Organisation

Choose this setting if you're signing up for someone other than yourself or other than in your name. For example, choose this setting if you represent a business, organisation, partnership or educational institution, or choose this setting if you are a sole proprietor signing up under a trade name.

Individual

Choose this setting if you're signing up in your own name and will use the account for your own purposes. For example, choose this setting if you are a sole entrepreneur signing up in your own name and for your own use. If you're registered as an Individual, you won't be able to add or remove users, or change permissions to your payments profile.

Purpose of use

Select Business if the purpose of use is for business or commercial services. Business use means that you'd like to see an economic benefit from your advertising, such as increased revenue, sales or signups. This includes affiliates, sole traders, self-employed merchants, partnerships and others.

Alternatively select Eligible non-business if the purpose of use is only for political, charitable or non-profit activity.

Note: Purpose of use setting will be visible only during the initial signup of the account. Google Ads should be used predominantly for business purposes in the European Union.

Tax information

Tax treatment is determined by your Purpose of use. Tax status and optional VAT ID setting will appear after you’ve selected account type and purpose of use. If you sign up for other Google products, tax treatment for the other products may be determined in some cases by tax status. The 'Purpose of use' setting is permanent and will affect the way you assess and report VAT.

Organisation tax status means that the tax ID that you entered is associated with an organisation account type.

Individual tax status means that the tax ID that you entered is associated with an individual account type.

Google can't give advice about VAT. If you have any questions about VAT registration, contact your tax adviser or revenue commissioner.

Good to know

We’ll need your VAT ID.
We don't add VAT charges to your account unless you selected 'Eligible non-business' Purpose of use during sign-up.
You'll be responsible for self-assessing and paying VAT at your EU member state's local rate (in accordance with Article 44 of EU Council Directive 2006/112/EC).

Changing your VAT ID

You can change your VAT ID yourself. Click the link below to see how.

Change your VAT ID

In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon .
Click Settings.
Under the 'Payer details' section, locate 'Luxembourg tax info' and click on the pencil icon , then click the Manage tax info link.
Click the Add tax info button.
Enter your VAT ID number.
Click Submit.

A common mistake is to enter a tax number instead of the VAT registration number. The two numbers are different. VAT registration numbers start with a country-specific ID, followed by a maximum of 12 characters (numbers or letters). Visit the European Commission's website if you'd like to check that your VAT registration number is valid.

Self-assess your VAT

You're required to self-assess VAT at your member state's current VAT rate. Please contact your local tax office for advice.

Find and download your VAT invoice

Note that in your country taxes are charged at the time of payment. If you’re using the manual payment option, you’ll get two sets of invoices: one at the time of prepayment, and another at the end of the month (which no longer displays 'Record of Costs and Taxes' and 'Record of payments received' sections). If you’re using the automatic payment option, you’ll receive one invoice at the end of the month, which no longer displays 'Record of Costs and Taxes' and 'Record of payments received' sections.

Here's how to find an invoice in your account:

In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon .
Click Documents.
In the table, tick the box to the left of the invoices that you’d like to download.
- To select all of the documents that appear in your table, tick the box in the very top left of the table.
Click on the Download selected button at the top right-hand corner of the table.
Choose the format that you’d like to use to download your invoices.
Click Download.

The local tax invoices will automatically download to your computer in the selected format for viewing or printing.

VAT invoice availability

A VAT invoice for a particular month is available starting on the 5th working day of the following month. For example, your September VAT invoice will be ready by 5 October. VAT invoices are not generated on weekends or bank holidays, so you can expect a delay getting your VAT invoice over those periods.

Discrepancies between your monthly billing activity and your invoice

Sometimes, the charges that you see in your monthly billing activity under 'Summary' are off by a day or two from those that you see on your invoice. In most cases this is expected because Google Ads and banks operate on different systems. Payments and charges don’t always happen at the same time.

If you have received an account adjustment or credit and used the credit within the same billing period, then this may also cause your VAT invoice to differ from your transaction history.

Invoices are legally valid

The invoices from your Google Ads account are historical invoices. They show your payment requests (that is, they include a line item whenever we initiated a charge or you made a payment to Google.)

Invoices are legally valid – this means that they'll be accepted by your local tax authorities.

Our invoices are accepted by various tax authorities as valid VAT invoices, with VAT deductions included, and don’t require a special stamp or signature.

If you have questions, contact your local legislature or tax adviser.
