Upcoming tax changes (Patreon)

Hello amazing patrons!

TL:DR
Patreon must tax pledges now, the increase will most likely be very low or none for us.

We 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.

We already set up our tier taxes having your benefit in mind. Our rewards will most likely get very low taxes or no taxes at all. Nevertheless our priority is your wellness, if you got any issue or question please don't hesitate to tell us and we will do our best to help you out.
