Sales tax
🕑 Added 2020-05-28 19:29:46 +0000 UTCNo, this isn't some veiled innuendo, this is actually about sales tax. Patreon is probably going to pester some of you about it in a few days, but I thought I'd let you know beforehand.
As of July 1st, Patreon is required in some countries and US states to start charging sales tax on pledges. This already happens for EU countries, but now they're obliged to do it for more countries around the globe.
The charge is likely a very small percentage and differs based on what your country or state deems taxable. 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. Patreon has compiled a FAQ on the matter which you can find here. You can also chat about it with one of their support staff should anything be unclear about it, that option is here.
Well that's the message from our benevolent overlords, I'm going back to rendering naked ladies.

In the UK (still counts as part of the EU for now) it's 20% to my government on top of my pledge ever since I joined Party-on. That's getting on for $40 per month with all the creators that I support.

And yes, by the ARTS, I mean renderings of naked ladies. (Is there any other kind of ARTS worth supporting?)
