Question

Chile 19% VAT — how to apply reverse charge as a VAT-registered business

I have an individual Creative Cloud Pro plan, but the subscriber is a Chilean company: AG DESIGN SPA, Tax ID (RUT) 77.399.229-0. The RUT is already on the account and prints on the invoice as "N.° de IVA de cliente: 773992290". I updated the billing name today and invoices are now issued to AG DESIGN SPA.

The issue is VAT. On invoice 3594393390 dated 28-SEP-2026 I'm charged 19% Chilean VAT (net CLP 20,400 + VAT 3,876 = 24,276). As a VAT-registered business in Chile the reverse charge should apply: the invoice should be issued at 0% VAT and I declare and pay the tax directly to the Chilean tax authority (SII).

I cannot claim this VAT as input tax credit, because Adobe does not issue a Chilean electronic tax document (DTE) with my RUT. So I'm effectively paying it twice — around CLP 3,876 per month.

My questions:

  1. Can reverse charge be configured on an individual plan?
  2. If not, is moving to Creative Cloud for teams the only option? What would the price difference be?

Thanks.
