I'm offered (forced) to make this change too. The problem is not being paid in €. The problem is it's not clear how the tax authorities will deal with this. With accepting the new € payment you also have to agree that Google Ireland is the new contract partner.

I'm based in NL and most advertisers come from NL also. The tax authorities might decide that Google's role is only to shift money from NL to Ireland and back to NL again in which case VAT would be applicable. Google won't pay VAT so that leaves us with a problem.

Of course we claim doing business with Google and not with any particular advertiser but as long it's not clear how this situation is handled by the tax authorities I don't want to change either.

This is *not* only about changing currency!
