Unless the ground field has characteristic 2 (and if you don't know what that means, you may safely assume it is not), subtraction is not commutative in any nontrivial vector space.
Does vector subtraction obey commutative law?
Subtracting vectors is NOT Commutative. This is because vector A and B are not the same (most of the time) and a negative sign affects a vector's direction.
Is vector addition subtraction commutative?
Commutative Property
As in adding scalar quatities, changing the order in which to vectors are added does not affect the final resultant vector. ... Thus I could take vector A and add it to B and the final resultant vector will not change. However, subtracting vectors is NOT Commutative.
