Issue description

We create a new subscription with an yearly plan and ensure that the subscription created date matches today's date. However, when we compare the first billing date with today's date + 1 year, it does not match until the time is past 5:00AM GMT. If the same test is run immediately after 5:00AM GMT it passes.

Looks like the first billing date is calculated in a different timezone (GMT - 5) while the created time is based on GMT.
