Patreon "Sales Tax" update
🕑 Added 2020-06-29 17:57:43 +0000 UTCSo I learned that 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.
The amount of tax charged and if you'll be charged at all 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.
Now if this isn't your cup of tea you are WELL within your rights to unpledge if you wish. No one's required to pledge to me, and the ones that do, I love you all so much, you're really awesome~ I know I don't offer anything super exclusive, like super secret stuff, but I don't want to ride the paywall train on all of you, just a small place people can tip and get some big versions of the same pics I upload.
To be honest I may look into over avenues of funding....SubscribeStar looks like it could be a viable candidate. Until then, you all keep being awesome and thank you for the love and support over the years. β₯
