For some probably very good reasons I can't figure out - you can't sign up for the free trial as an individual from the UK - only as a business. So I guess I won't be trying this.
- Symbiote 10y agoGoogle doesn't charge VAT, they expect the customer to account for it. Only businesses are allowed to pay VAT in this way. I signed up pretending to be a business, but I assume the VAT on the $3/mth I spend isn't worth anyone's time to account for. £0.20/year?

- sapphire_tomb 10y agoThanks for the link - that's a useful read. So I signed up as indicated - but perhaps this free tier thing doesn't really work for accounts outside the USA either - as when trying to fire up an f1.micro instance it still says it's going to charge me (albeit out of the $300 free credit), so maybe I misunderstood something about the article.
- 7ewis 10y agoDoes everything work as expected? Might sign up as business too.
