Patreon Sales Tax! Please read! (Patreon)

YO FOLKS! 

Alas, in our digital age, more and more things are required to be taxed. It appears starting July 1st Patreon will be required to charge us sales tax on whoever we're supporting. This is based on YOUR location, not the creator's location. This is also based on what is offered in each tier, meaning there's a lot of gray areas.

For example, overpaying on a tier is considered a form of donation/general support, so it's not taxed. This means all of you in the collab tier will be being taxed on the 51$ that is on that tier, and nothing over that.

And certain things are taxed in some states, while others aren't taxed at all. So "streamed content" is taxable in a lot of areas now, but "early access" might not be, or "general support" might not be either. Or things like "private community access"

There's a lot of gray area, and I'm curious to see how much this will affect everyone. I've got about 100$ worth of folks I'm supporting each month, so in theory i'll only be paying maximum 8 bucks in sales tax. But with the amount of customizing each creator can do per tier, it could be less. We'll see!

Patreon has already released a ton of information on this for creators, but they will be emailing everyone in the next few days. You will find more information on all of this there.

I've already adjusted our tiers, and it's pretty neat to see how it works. Again, this won't be rolled out until July 1st. So you have plenty of time to look into it.

This'll mean a couple extra shekels, unfortunately, but it was really just a matter of time.

OK! That's it! Keep an eye out for this month's update! A majority of the work this month was back-end stuff, so not too much content-wise. But it'll be in the patch notes.

We do have some exciting news I wanna release here soon ;> But all in good time!

Anywho, Thanks for ALL of y'alls amazing support <3! Keep washin' those hands!
