Patreon & EU VAT – Everything is ok! (Patreon)

The next info is only for my Patrons from European Union.

I've just received a message from the Patreon Team. They are working on better tax policies for every Patreon member. This includes VAT tax.

So what's new:

As part of our ongoing commitment to helping you run your membership business, we collect and remit legally required VAT (Value-Added Tax) on your behalf from patrons located in the European Union (EU). We are making upgrades to confirm the country of residence patrons are located in to ensure that we are calculating taxes correctly.

As you have patrons in the EU, we wanted to let you know that as we confirm patron locations, some may see a change in the VAT added to their pledges starting October 1st. We will email those patrons in advance of any changes to let them know the correct total amount of VAT that will be applied to their pledge moving forward.

So, my EU friends, if something will change in your recipes – do not worry. Patreon will make all your pledges legal so you do not need to take responsibility for paying the VAT.

Also, if you have any questions – do not hesitate to visit this article in the Patreon Help Center.
