Sales Tax Changes for Some Patrons (Patreon)

Hello Partners, Keepers, and other supporters. Just a heads up that Patreon is changing some things next month.

I'll keep this as short as I can, but basically some supporters will see their cost go up slightly due to new laws requiring the Patreon platform to collect tax where applicable. I believe you'll receive an email from Patreon on June 1st with more details.

Whether or not your amount will go up will be based on your location, and the local laws as to what is and isn't taxable.

As I understand it, less than half of patrons will have to be charged, and the change should be small. For example, sales tax here in the US can range from 4% to 11%. To illustrate, a $3 Keeper pledge would become $3.25 in Texas where I live.

If you have specific questions about this, they might be answered by Patreon's email in June. If not, you're welcome to reach out to Patreon's customer support team at https://support.patreon.com/.
