How to get a GST invoice from Google Ads

If you are reading this article you may be wondering where to find a GST invoice for your Google Ads account.

In late November 2018, AdWords started charging GST on all New Zealand AdWords accounts.

You can find your GST tax invoice as a PDF inside your Google Ads dashboard in the first week of the following month.

Account administrators and personnel with billing access can view and download billing information — make sure you have the appropriate privileges to access these details.

There are two ways to download the invoice: through the Google Payments Centre and the Google Ads portal.

Method 1 — From your Google Payments Centre

  1. Go to pay.google.com and log in with your Gmail details.
  2. Click on the AdWords subscription service (click Manage).
  3. Click View Transactions & Documents.
  4. Select the correct date range.
  5. Click the link for the Tax Invoice (NZ).
  6. Save the file.

Method 2 — From your Google AdWords account

  1. Sign in to AdWords at ads.google.com.
  2. Click Tools in the top bar menu.
  3. Select Billing & Payments.
  4. Click Transactions.
  5. Select the correct date range.
  6. Click the link for the Tax Invoice (NZ).
  7. Save the file.

It is not currently possible to set up monthly invoicing in Google AdWords, although this feature will likely be implemented in the future.
