Patreon sales tax! (Patreon)

Welcome everyone.

I received such a message from Patreon:

Dear creator,

Hopefully by now you’ve heard that we’re being required by law to start adding sales tax to more patron pledges starting July 1st. We’re here to help you and your patrons get prepared, and we’ve included links to all the info you need in this email.

If you haven’t already, we highly recommend that you reach out to your patronspersonally before we email them on June 1st. We really think they’ll appreciate hearing it from you first!

In addition, you can use our new sales tax settings to potentially save patrons money on taxes, so we highly recommend you use them!

Resources to help you prepare:

• Info and FAQs about the new sales tax requirements
  
  
• A sample post you can use to let your patrons know
  
  
• Guide to our new Advanced Sales Tax settings: these give you more control over how sales tax applies to your patrons and can save them money
  
  
• Watch a demo video where Patreon CEO Jack Conte uses these setting on his own account

Ask any questions you may have in our Community Forum. We’re watching that thread to answer everyone’s questions. 

Hoping you’re safe and healthy,

The Patreon Team
