How to download invoices from Google Ads
Booksmate downloads Google Ads invoices automatically: add Google Ads in Booksmate, press Fetch All, and your invoices are downloaded for you. Manual steps are listed below if you prefer to download them yourself.
How do you download a Google Ads invoice?
Sign in to Google Ads, click the Billing icon, then Documents. Tick the box next to the month you need and click Download selected. The PDF saves to your computer.
- In countries with local tax invoices, select Tax and statutory documents at the top first.
- To download every document in the table at once, tick the box at the top left of the table.
Why does Google Ads give you a statement instead of an invoice?
Google says the document you get, an invoice or a statement, depends on your payment method and billing country. A statement is a summary of the month's billing activity, not a bill. To check your payment setting, open Billing, then Settings, and look under How you pay.
- If you are eligible for local tax invoices, the statement usually appears first and the tax invoice follows shortly after.
- Google does not make a separate invoice or statement for each campaign.
When is last month's Google Ads invoice ready?
In most countries, from the 5th business day of the following month. India invoices can take until the 7th business day, and China local tax invoices until the 15th business day. Documents are not generated on weekends or bank holidays, and the current month never shows before the month ends.
- Need proof of a charge sooner? Open Billing, then Summary, open the card for the month, scroll to Payments and click the payment. A printable receipt opens in a new tab.
- On prepay, Google creates an invoice every time you make a payment.
Can you download Google Ads invoices in bulk?
Yes, within one account. In Documents, tick several months, or the box at the top left for the whole table, and click Download selected.
- Each Google Ads account has its own documents, so repeat this in every account you pay for.
- If you collect your Google Ads invoices every month for your bookkeeping, Booksmate can fetch the tax invoice or statement from Documents for you, including from accounts under a manager account.

Google Ads Invoice FAQs
Is it safe to use Booksmate with Google Ads?
Yes. Booksmate runs on your own computer and never stores your Google Ads password, so your login details are not shared with any third party.
Can I download old invoices?
Yes. When you first add Google Ads to Booksmate, Booksmate downloads the full invoice history that is available in your Google Ads account.
Does Booksmate support email invoice collection?
Yes. Booksmate gathers invoices from your email inbox in addition to web portals like Google Ads, giving you one complete invoice collection setup.
Can I download all my Google Ads invoices at once?
Yes. Booksmate downloads your complete Google Ads invoice history automatically. Add Google Ads, press Fetch All, and every available invoice is saved to your computer.
Are Google Ads invoices saved as PDF files?
Yes. Booksmate saves every invoice as a PDF, so they are easy to organize, share, or upload to your accounting software.
How often are Google Ads invoices generated?
Once a month. In most countries, a statement or local tax invoice for a month is available from the 5th business day of the following month. Weekends and bank holidays are skipped, so that date can fall later in the calendar. On prepay you also get an invoice each time you make a payment.
Can I get a VAT invoice from Google Ads?
Yes, if your country gets local tax invoices. Add your VAT ID to your payments profile under Billing, then Settings. Google says the invoices then show your payments, Google's VAT ID and your VAT ID. Only users with Admin or Billing access can change the payments profile name, address and tax ID.
Why is there no VAT on my Google Ads invoice in the EU?
If your business address is in the EU but outside Ireland, Google Ireland Ltd bills you without VAT and you self-assess VAT at your own country's rate. Ask your tax advisor if you are not sure how to record it.
Does Google Ads email invoices?
In most countries, no. Unless you are on monthly invoicing (credit terms), Google does not mail or email invoices or statements for postpay or prepay accounts, so you download them from Documents. On monthly invoicing, Google emails the invoice within 5 business days of the start of each month.
Can I fix the name or address on an old Google Ads invoice?
Sometimes. Update your billing details first. In countries with local tax invoices, open Documents, then Tax and statutory documents, select the invoice and choose Regenerate invoice with updated information under Actions. The new copy is ready in about 24 hours with the same invoice number. A VAT ID cannot be added to an invoice that was already issued.
