Why is a business name required?
- boulos 10y agoI'm guessing you're in Europe. First, let me say we're sorry. The explanation unfortunately is VAT collection and reporting, which we don't (currently) do for you. A business is already required to do so, but for individuals would have to do their own / represent that they're doing so. My understanding is that it's also per country, requiring either a per-country holding company or some sort of extra accounting. tl;dr: VAT (and yes we should handle this for you, but don't today). Disclaimer: I work on Google Cloud, but I am not a tax lawyer (nor even a lawyer).
