Friends in the UK were talking about how expensive CC is, and the numbers seemed wrong. But I checked, and at least in the UK and Europe the prices seem to be miscalculated.

Taking the UK, annually paying for CC is $50 here, which ought to be £35. But they have VAT at 20%, making it be £42. Why is it they are being asked £50?

    Have you ever tried to buy something with Paypal from a foreign country?

    In addition to currency exchange and fees of each state there is a commission that banks or Paypal apply for currency exchange.

    If you buy something in the USA, from me in Italy I tell you that this item costs € 270 and you make me a bank transfer of $ 336.3755 ... on my bank account get 270 € and I pay € 12 for the currency exchange of the transaction.

    The price of the Creative Cloud subscription is balanced considering this too.

    I wouldn't question the fact that a lot of the world is unfair. I'm just questioning whether Adobe has to go along with that!

    This is French prices.

    VAT is included in the price as required by our laws.

    Yes, exactly. $50 in euros is $40, with 20% VAT becomes €48, not €60.
