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.
Adobe accepts the following items as proof of tax-exempt status:
- Resale certificate
- Multi-jurisdiction exemption certificate
- Individual state exemption certificate
- Exempt organization certificate
- Direct pay permits
- Manufacturing exempt certificate
- Government tax-exempt credit card

- It is for sale as is in your regular business operations
- It is for sale as a physical part of another product
- It is used for demonstration or display while holding it for sale in your business
A purchase is not for resale if:
- You will use it rather than sell it.
- You will use it before you sell it.
- You will use it for personal purposes.
A valid tax exemption or reseller certificate must include:
- Name and address of Adobe
- Name and address of the customer
- A dated signature from the authorized customer representative
- A description of products being purchased
It's necessary to complete all fields.
A valid state-issued form must include:
