Big and uncertain news
🕑 Added 2025-02-06 10:02:01 +0000 UTCAlright, this will be a bit dense.
I promise I won't get political this is only really for context. As you may or may not know France (like a lot of other countries) is in a big political crisis right now. So everything I say could very well get canceled anytime if the governement get overthrown (I mean legally cuz there's about 0% chance it happens by the people themselves).
Anyway that's not what I needed to talk about.
So to simplify, the French governement just passed a bill to hit the little self-entreprises (just like I am) technically raising their taxes (basically we're not exempted from declaring VAT anymore). Now comes the annoying part, I have no idea how this will impact me. I know Patreon handles the VAT for the creators by already charging it but that's all I know.
So now there are multiple possibilities,
- Nothing changes
- I get less money when you support me for the same amount
- You have to pay more for each tier
And the worst is that I won't have any control over that because you cannot change the price of a tier on Patreon once it's setup. So if it ends up being the third option, I won't even have the possibility to lower the prices to compensate.
This situation is a big blur for me and I'm speaking without being sure of anything but I thought it was important to mention it, just in case it impacts you directly.

Be strong I'm from Argentina, so you can imagine that political uncertainty is an everyday occurrence for me. Be patient and try to reduce expenses to a minimum until things calm down. (That would be my advice)

Maybe I'm actually not affected at all because I don't sell good and VAT doesn't apply to memberships, though.
