An update for US patrons on sales tax (Patreon)

Hi everyone, I'm just going to copy-paste patreon's blurb about the tax here since they phrased it better than me:

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. 

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. 

Me again: 

Thanks everyone for your support! I'd also like all of you to know that if you need to I never mind people dropping tiers or dropping out. I absolutely will not hold it against you and I will be fine. Look after yourselves.

If you do choose to stick around thank you <3 it's much appreciated.
