Place a tax-exempt order with Adobe

The following content applies to North America (NA) only.

All orders placed in the U.S. and Canada are subject to sales tax. Adobe charges sales tax according to the ship-to location.

To remove the sales tax from your order, contact Adobe Customer Service. Provide a resale or exemption certificate from the state or province to which your product will be shipped before you place an order. Letters from the IRS exempting you from federal tax do not qualify as sales-tax exemption certificates.

Note: You cannot place a tax-exempt order on the Adobe Store. Contact Adobe Customer Service to place a tax-exempt direct order.

• Resale certificate
• Multi-jurisdiction exemption certificate
• Individual state exemption certificate
