Documentation tips

-   Google Workspace subscriptions are fully deductible as ordinary business expenses — ensure the account is used exclusively (or primarily) for business to support the deduction.
-   If you use a personal Google account alongside a business Workspace account, maintain clear separation; only the paid Workspace subscription is deductible.
-   Charges may appear on statements as 'Google,' 'Google LLC,' or 'Googleplex' — reconcile these against your Workspace admin billing dashboard to confirm amounts.
-   Annual prepayment for Google Workspace may offer a discount; under the cash method of accounting, prepaid annual subscriptions may need to be prorated over the period covered.
-   If staff use Workspace for both business and personal tasks, document primary business use to substantiate the full deduction.
