Why was I charged tax on Creative Cloud mid-subscription?

I subscribed to Creative Cloud in April 2013. Monthly payments on my statement were $29.99 until the October 2013 payment. For that invoice, there was an additional amount of $1.02 for tax. Considering that I had just receievd an email about the security breach at Adobe and subsequently changed my password, I contacted Adobe support via chat to investigate this change in my monthly charges. The rep (Victor) could not provide an answer as to why, at this particular time, the tax started to be applied to my subscription. He repeatedly informed me that I needed to fill out a tax-exempt form in order for this to be cleared up. Which never answered the question of why the tax appeared mid-subscription. If there is some valid reason (e.g., my state, Colorado, started collecting sales tax for online purchases beginning in October), I will gladly pay the tax. I cannot seem to verify anything with the state government. I am just trying to get an answer about why the tax started when it did. Thanks. Chris

Hi everyone,
I heard back from Adobe's billing department why this occurred. Adobe registered to start collecting sales tax in the following eight US states where we had not previously. This change went into effect in the September or October of this year. These are the states where Adobe started collecting tax where it wasn't previously:
·         AL (Alabama)
·         AR (Arkansas)
·         LA (Louisiana)
·         MS (Mississippi)
·         ND (North Dakota)
·         SD (South Dakota)
·         WY (Wyoming)
·         WV (West Virginia)
The change was also mistakenly applied to AK (Alaska) and CO (Colorado).  Customers in these two states which were charged in error are being credited back the amount of the incorrect tax charges. I will post back once this is completed.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
-Dave

    I would like to quote from this link the following excerpt:
    "If you upgrade to a Creative Cloud annual membership, you don't incur a cancelation charge on your existing membership. Upon upgrading, you receive a refund for the unused duration of existing memberships."

  • Why when I have an annual Creative Cloud subscription am I repeatedly asked to login to authenticate

    Why when I have an annual Creative Cloud subscription am I repeatedly asked to login to authenticate the subscription - sometimes twice, three times during a single product session usage? It's really out of control with Acrobat Pro where I am routinely asked to agree to a trial subscription. Why, I have a full subscription?? Almost everytime I open a PDF file, I am asked to sign-in - this is a huge time burner and completely ridiculous! This new subscription model is extremely frustrating to deal with day in and day out - please fix this mess.

    I have been having this same problem for the past few weeks.  I ran the subscription with no problems since August of 2013. I agree this is time consuming and frustrating. It has now started to do it with illustrator too.  I am not sure if it started when I updated. 
    I thought I solved the problem last weekend, when I removed an old trial version.  However, I didn't exit Photoshop because it was having this problem and I didn't want to deal with it. My computer updated and restarted and the problem is occuring again.

  • Why was I charged the activation fee?

    I just joined Verizon this past weekend. We purchased 3 Samsung Galaxy S5's and The Edge 10gb plan. I was told by the CSR that there would not be any activation fees but I would see the sales tax of approx. $90 on my first bill. I was also told my bill would be $220 after discounts and taxes. I received my first bill at $493.10 yesterday.
    #1 - Why was I charged the activation fees?
    #2 - Why do your CSR's mislead your customers? I'm now being told that my monthly bill will be $267.00.
    #3 - How can you allow the treatment of your customers to continue like this?

    That so called tax seems kind of high? Activation fees are $35 not $30. There are upgrade fees of $30 for existing customers.
    The first bill is pro rata of time used in advance and the days before the month in advance.
    The cost of three devices on the edge plan are at least $25 a piece, which should be added in each month. So let's say your monthly plan costs are $160+tax+$75 for the three phones. Is $235+tax then it may be around $267 complete each month.
    Never believe anything the service people tell you. Check your receipt and do not sign anything unless all you agree to is on it.
    Good Luck

  • Is there an hourly charge for using Creative Cloud?

    I was told by a co-worker that there is an hourly charge for using Creative Cloud, in addition to buying the year's membership. Is that the case? If yes, what is the hourly cost?

    No hourly charge that I'm aware of, Creative Cloud Membership is a kind of subscription to products with some additional services, you can get a year long or monthly subscription. You pay monthly with both though.
    These links talk about what it is and how it works

  • Why was I charged again after canceling my account?

    I spoke with an adobe representative 2-3 weeks ago about canceling my account and voiding the charge for my creative cloud subscription. The representative told me it would not be a problem and he would take care of this. Upon checking my bank account, the charge was initially refunded, but then I was charged again. What can I do to resolve this issue?
