NAFAIK but there is a reduction to UK player's VPP multipliers:

Quote:

"As a general policy, when there are new regulations and local taxes in a market, PokerStars adjusts PokerStars VIP Club benefits to mitigate part of the tax.

In accordance with this policy for the new UK regulations, we will be reducing VPP multipliers effective January 1st, 2015. There are no changes to Stellar or Milestone rewards.

- For tournaments and cash tables with 7 or fewer seats, the VPP rate is changing from 5.5 to 5 VPPs earned for each $1.00 USD in rake paid, from 7 to 6.5 VPPs for each €1.00 EUR in rake paid, and from 8.8 to 7.9 VPPs for each £1.00 GBP in rake paid.

- For cash tables with 8 or more seats (no matter how many players are actually seated or dealt in), you earn 5.5 for each $1.00 in rake, 7.5 for each €1.00, or 9.5 for each £1.00 in rake paid.

- For Microstakes NL/PL cash tables, regardless of the number of seats, you earn different amounts of VPPs based on the limit:
$.01/.02 - 9 VPPs per $1.00 in rake paid
$.02/.05 – 7.5 VPPs per $1.00 in rake paid
$.05/.10 – 6.5 VPPs per $1.00 in rake paid
€.01/.02 - 11 VPPs per €1.00 in rake paid
€.02/.05 - 9 VPPs per €1.00 in rake paid
€.05/.10 - 8 VPPs per €1.00 in rake paid

More details can be found here: http://uk.pokerstars.com/vip/earn/

It is recognized that the annual basis of Supernova+ VIP Status, VIP Stellar Rewards, and Milestone Cash Credits results in many players planning their PokerStars play at the start of each year based on the game conditions and VIP Program rewards at that time. Other than VPP multiplier reductions for specific countries to help pass on half of the tax, we will not be enacting in 2015 any changes that are VIP reward reductions. This explicitly includes commitment that we will not be making any widespread revaluation of FPP or cash bonus price changes, though we do of course reserve the right to change VIP Store pricing on individual merchandise as we always have."
