Im a uk user of google adwords , and have noticed that google charge VAT to my account. Google have said that if i use adwords for business purposes then VAt is applicable , but i do not use adwords for business purposes and they still charge VAt on my acccount? I have asked many a time , but i always get the same generic response emial back saying "blah blah blah look at goole help for more info" so i do what they say and still , it does not state any rules regarding to VAt. I am using it for personal use should i still be charged VAt ? Anyone else get charged VAT for personal use of Adwords?

sorry , forgot to select instant email

I'm in Thailand and I was not charged by Google.

VAT gets added to everything not just Adwords regardless whether it is business use or personal use if the vendor is VAT registered.

take your own car to the garage and you pay vat, buy a fridge from Tesco you pay vat.
