A message from Ralph (Patreon)

Hi there boys and girls!

I just wanted to reach out and let you know we have some small changes coming our way to The Ralph Report on July 1st. (You may be getting a notice from Patreon soon, but, I wanted you to hear it from me first.)

These changes may affect some of your pledges. 

It turns out the government is reaching into our pockets again! 

Due to new laws passing in several countries and some US states, Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges, starting July 1st.

• We have searched through the tax laws in great detail, and are categorizing our content and rewards to be tax exempt as best we can! 

• Based on location, some patrons will be charged sales tax and for most part, the amount will be very small. (Hopefully, due to our "tax exempt" benefits, it will be even less.)  For every level of generals, we are attempting to limit sales tax on all benefits. 

• 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 is paid directly to local governments. The Ralph Report team is working closely with Patreon to ensure we are 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 soon, but I wanted to make sure you were aware of these changes way ahead of July 1st when they go into effect.

We'll keep you posted! And, as always, thank you so much for the support, and for making THE GARMY an amazing community!

LMB!
