According to Alphabet Inc's annual report for 2021, "General and administrative expenses increased $2.5 billion from 2020 to 2021. The increase was primarily driven
by a $1.7 billion increase in charges relating to legal matters and a $664 million increase in compensation expenses,
largely resulting from a 14% increase in headcount. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in expense of
$808 million related to a decline in allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable, as 2020 reflected a higher
allowance related to the economic effect of COVID-19."
