New fees for Google Ads served in the UK and Other Countries

Ive just had this sent to my AdWords account it looks like Google is increasing its prices for the UK market

Dear Customer,On 1 November 2020, Google will begin charging new fees for ads served in the United Kingdom, Turkey and Austria.New feesAs of 1 November 2020, we will begin adding a fee to your next invoice or statement for ads served in specific countries:

Ads served in Turkey: a 5% Regulatory Operating Cost added to your invoice or statement
Ads served in Austria: a 5% Austria DST Fee added to your invoice or statement
Ads served in the United Kingdom: a 2% UK DST Fee added to your invoice or statement

The Regulatory Operating Costs are being added due to significant increases in the complexity and cost of complying with regulations in Turkey. In Austria and the United Kingdom, the DST Fee is driven by the new digital services tax in these countries.You can view a more complete description of fee changes, but here are the most important changes that may apply:Ads purchased through Google Ads

These fees will be shown on your invoice or statement as a separate line item per country. They will also be displayed in the 'Transactions' section of your Google Ads account. You'll be charged for advertisements served in the countries mentioned above.
Any taxes, such as sales tax, VAT, GST or QST, that apply in your country may also apply to the new fees.
If you pay through monthly invoicing or automatic payments, these fees will be added in addition to your account budget. For example, if you have a budget of €100 and accrue €5 in Austria DST Fees for ads served in Austria, you'll be billed €105 (plus any taxes, such as sales tax, VAT, GST or QST, that may apply in your country).

If you pay through manual payments, these fees may be charged after your payment has been fully spent. You may be left with an open balance that will be automatically deducted from your next prepayment. For example, if you accumulate €5 of Regulatory Operating Costs for ads served in Turkey, and you make a new payment for €100, you would have €95 credit towards displaying ads (€100 - €5), and your available balance would show €95.
