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.
