They're lazy. I use Google Apps for personal, family members. Google asked a few times if I'm sure I'm not a business. I said I'm not. In the end, without asking anymore they stopped billing VAT because I'm a business. Well... OK.

You might want to report that.

Knowingly profiting from crimes is still illegal, so you might be liable, too.

I doubt it's a crime to not charge VAT.
Tax fraud/evasion is very definitely a crime. VAT is just another tax.

If you can’t prove that you told Google that you are a private person using a business account, you might end up having to repay and end up with a fine.
