Combing through my bank statement and I happened to notice that my normally 9.99/mo CAD subscription (as still advertised here: https://www.spotify.com/ca-en/premium/?checkout=false) has gone up to 10.49 and then 11.19 over the last several months with NO NOTIFICATION.
I am absolutely baffled that Spotify would think this is OK. I'm even more confused at why it's impossible to submit a complaint about billing to anywhere but this community. I recall there used to be a support contact?
Hey there @allen_m and welcome to the community!
According to this FAQ post, an increase in your subscription fee could be due to a couple of things, like a VAT increase for example.
Hope this was helpful!

Hey @allen_m!
To me it looks like there are changes in your VAT for your location. It could have been that Spotify changed discovered a tax they were missing so they recently added it. Taxes are always a pain. That's a simple way to put it. Now we can't say exactly why there isn't any taxes for your Netflix subscription. Taxes vary between Netflix, Spotify and every other every company because of many factors such as if they have an office in the country/province, if they have any employees in the country, etc..
If you go to your receipts page, and click on "View" on any receipt, you can see the amount you were charged for VAT. Please check it to make sure that it was a change in VAT. Also, a receipt will be sent to the email address in your account profile only after starting a trial offer, making your first payment of a new subscription, and purchasing an e-card.
@allen_m Can you double check your inbox and spam folder to see if there is any e-mails from Spotify regard the VAT increase? There should have been a notification. If not, contact the payments team through online contact form to make sure all the settings on your account are correct.
