Sales Tax Info (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

From the first of July Patreon is going to charge sales tax for some of the people depending on where you live and what I offer (although I'm not sure if this also counts for my kind of benefits). If this tax sales counts for you, Patreon will be sending an email about it very soon.  I just wanted to make sure you were aware of these changes way ahead of July 1st when they go into effect. 

The message below is a copy of text provided by Patreon to explain a few things about it: 

----------------
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 doing my best by working together wit Patreon, to save you as much money as possible when it comes to sales tax.

 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!
