Important Update Concerning New Patreon Implementations
🕑 Added 2020-05-28 22:40:51 +0000 UTCHi, guys. Patreon is rolling out a new change they're required by law to do, and that's start adding sales tax on some pledges depending on where you're located. It won't effect everyone, but it will effect a large chunk of you, I'm sure.
It will be small, but if you DO get charged an additional sales tax for your pledge, you'll see it starting July 1st moving forward. Here's a copy paste of an example they notified me about: "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." So it should be pretty negligible for most people in the long run, I hope.
The nice part is that some tiers' rewards should be non-taxable, and I've already gone through and indicated which rewards from each tier are taxable based on fractions. Most of the rewards for all tiers are not taxable as they're stuff like message privileges in discord or being able to attend streams, stuff like that. So In that regard, a lot of a pledge's rewards should go untaxed. In theory, you'll be taxed even less than the example shown above. We'll see how it goes. For full details, here's their article about it.
Patreon should be emailing everyone who is an active patron to any creator fairly soon, but I wanted to give you this heads up. And I want to thank you all for sticking with me, your support really makes it possible for me to do what I do, and I super appreciate it. <3 Thank you, guys.
