Usually, yes — if Google Workspace is genuinely used for your website business, it may be claimable as a business expense, commonly as software, subscriptions, office/admin costs, or similar categories depending on your local tax rules.

Typical business uses include business email, cloud storage, shared documents, calendars, admin tools, and client communication.

Practical points:

  • Keep Google invoices, receipts, and payment records.
  • If you use it for both business and personal purposes, claim only the business-use portion where your tax rules require apportionment.
  • Record it consistently in your bookkeeping under the appropriate expense category.
  • If VAT, GST, sales tax, or similar tax is charged, whether you can reclaim or deduct that tax depends on your jurisdiction and tax registration status.

The exact treatment depends on your country, business structure, and whether you are self-employed, operating through a company, or claiming through an employer. If the amount is material or you are unsure, check with an accountant or your local tax authority before filing.
