[ summary ] May 2020 (Patreon)

1. Sticker sheet and Enamel pin won!

According to the result of the vote,

Pin vs Charm vs Tape 

Sticker vs Eyeglass cloth 

I'll made sticker sheets and enamel pins for October Reward.

I'll made pin's design poll post very soon. 

I've been sketching pin designs, and I am cleaning up the line of some of them.

50~70 percent of character will be eliminated for design reasons when I organize the lines and decide the color🧐

You can see 5~7 designs on the design polls!

2. About the Delivery and Poll System

Everything is written in the April summary post. 

May's situation hasn't changed from April... 

But according to the article I've seen recently, 

I heard that some countries will fly planes normally from next month to boost their economy. Also I read news about American airline stocks rise.

So I have hope that the worldwide postical office service will come back, so I can start shipping again :D

3. An update on sales tax

I recently got a mail from Patreon about sales tax.

I just found out about it now, too💦. 

I am tried to learning about this, but I am very newbie about American tax system, so if you have any questions, I recommend you to contact Patreon.

Here is sample copy from mail👇

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to give you an update on some changes that we’ll be seeing which may affect some of your pledges. Due to new laws passing in several countries and US states, Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges starting July 1st. 

Less than half of all patrons will be charged sales tax, and for most, the amount will be very small. For example, sales tax rates in the US range from 4% to 11%, so on a $5 pledge, that would be between 20 cents and 55 cents. 

Whether or not you will be charged sales tax depends on your location, and what is considered taxable there. Not every pledge is taxable, not all benefits are taxable in every location, and sometimes only a fraction of a pledge will be taxable. The money that Patreon collects as a result of these laws are paid directly to local governments.

I’m working closely with Patreon to ensure I’m able to save you as much money as possible when it comes to sales tax - which is not something that’s possible with other platforms.

If you’re in a location where sales tax will be required, you should expect to receive an email from Patreon with more information about this very soon, but I wanted to make sure you were aware of these changes way ahead of July 1st when they go into effect. 

If you have questions, you should be able to find answers here. If you still have questions, the best place to get an answer is from Patreon’s customer support team, here. 

Thank you for all of your support.
