View your receipts

To view the receipts for your YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium membership, visit payments.google.com Activity.

You’ll see a list of all your transactions, including your YouTube membership charges. Click any transaction to view the details about that charge, including:

• The total amount billed
• The date and time of the charge
• The status of the transaction
• Which payment method was charged

If there’s a charge that you don’t recognize or seems higher than it should be, check this list of common reasons for unexpected charges. If you believe the charge was made by someone else, you can report an unauthorized charge.

If you live in the European Economic Area, you'll be charged Value-Added Tax (VAT) on some purchases from Google. For these purchases, you can request a VAT invoice.

Depending on what Google service you use to make a purchase, the currency you're billed in may not be the currency of your home country. Learn more about currency conversions.

Recurring charges in India

Due to the Reserve Bank of India eMandate requirements, you have to verify or re-enter your payment details to maintain access to your recurring memberships. To do so, follow the instructions in the YouTube app or on youtube.com. Note that your bank may not support recurring payments at this time. Check the list of banks supporting recurring payments or learn more.
