Update on Sales Tax (Patreon)

Hi there!

Starting July 1st, due to new laws passing in several countries and US states, some states are requiring Patreon to charge sales tax on pledges.

These changes will affect less than half of you, and for most that are affected, 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've used tools provided by Patreon to limit the cost to y'all as much as I can.

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 within the next couple days.

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 supporting me! I am just so happy to be doing what I'm doing and each of you is making it possible. ^_^

Have a great day,
