Why was VAT charged on my order?

Beginning January 1, 2019, Adobe will be responsible to account for and pay VAT with respect to both B2B and B2C supplies of e-services. (Note that before January 1, 2019, the tax rules for collecting VAT only applied to B2C supplies of e-services.)

Why did the amount I pay in VAT increase from 18% to 20%?

The standard VAT rate in Russia increased from 18% to 20% and will apply to all B2C and B2B transactions as of January 1, 2019.

I have an existing membership. When will my fee go up?

If you have a paid monthly plan, you will see the VAT on your statement at the next billing on or after January 1, 2019. If you have a prepaid annual plan with a commitment period starting prior to January 1, 2019, the VAT goes into effect at the end of your annual term.
