Submit your non-US tax info to Google

We need your tax information because you earn money through Google products, buy Google services that require your tax information, and/or are paid through Google entities located in countries that require it. Where Google is required to withhold taxes on our payments to you, submitting your tax information allows Google to apply the correct withholding rate and ensure that timely payments are made.

The rate of withholding depends on several factors, which Google needs your tax information to determine. If your country/region has a tax treaty with the country/region where you earn money through Google products, withholding may be reduced.

Your payout may be subject to a higher withholding tax deduction if local tax law requires taxes to be withheld from your payout.

Note: The status of tax residency information related to tax exemption with Ireland or Singapore will not result in account limitations, or impact payouts or withholding tax. We will let you know in the event of any changes.

Your information has one of the following statuses:

In review

Your submitted tax information is being reviewed. If additional documents are required to validate your tax information or verify your identity, we'll notify you in the Google payments center and by email.

Action Required

Further tax information is required to verify your identity or the accuracy of the information already submitted.

Accepted

Your tax information has been submitted, reviewed, and accepted.

Declined

Your tax information may be declined for several reasons, including if the document you uploaded was:

• Blurry or unclear
• Expired or not an acceptable document type (e.g., passports or driving licenses for tax residency proof in some regions). Refer to Location-specific information or the document requirements depending on your account type.
• Missing pages or information, such as a signature.
• Contains information (e.g., organization name, address) that does not exactly match the information in your AdMob payments profile.

If your information is declined, we will notify you in the Google payments center and by email. Make sure the documents you upload are clear, current, complete, and that all details precisely match your payments profile information. If you have recently changed your organization name or address, ensure your AdMob account reflects these changes before resubmitting documents.

An organization or individual’s tax residency country/region is where they are responsible for paying taxes. The country in which you reside is not necessarily your tax residency country. To determine your status, consult a tax adviser or your country/region’s tax residency criteria. 

Google requires proof of tax residency to determine our withholding obligation on the payments made to you.

For more information, refer to Tax residency certificates (TRC).

Consult a tax adviser or your tax residency country’s guidance to determine what income tax treaties are in place and whether the type of income you receive from Google is included in a specific tax treaty provision.

Unfortunately, Google can’t make this determination for you. You may need to seek professional tax advice to determine your treaty eligibility.

Even if you're not claiming any treaty benefits, Google may still be legally required to withhold and report taxes on income earned through our products. Therefore, your tax information may still be required.

If you need help to resolve technical issues, contact Google support. However, Google can't provide you with tax advice. If you need tax advice, speak with a professional tax adviser.

If you're not the right person to submit tax information, you can forward the email to the correct person within your organization to sign in. That person must have administrator access to the Google payments profile. They can then use the information provided in the email to submit tax information. To give the signatory administrator access to the payments profile, follow the steps to manage users in your payments profile.

We highly recommend completing this process using a laptop/desktop.
