The Taxman Cometh (Patreon)

As of June 1, some patrons (that don't already) will have an amount of sales tax on donations. Here is roughly what Patreon have told creators: Basically, laws have been passed that, varying by area, declare some kinds of Patreon (or other donation-based financial support system) rewards as products, therefore subject to sales tax. It will depend on where you are and how taxes are calculated on different patron rewards in different areas. This had already been in effect in Europe for a number of years.

I've been working on the back end, using the new Patreon tools, to try and get patrons affected as little as possible which I assume is the same for all creators.

Sorry for the unfortunate news.
