VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE
Added 2020-05-30 16:00:04 +0000 UTCStarting June 1st, Patreon has to comply by law to apply sale tax to patron pledges.
Patreon's system won't allow to edit the amounts of the existing pledge tiers to compensate for this, as such, I've created new tiers that will function exactly as the $5, $10 and $12 Tiers but with a 15% discount to compensate for whatever new amounts you'll have to pay in your region starting June 1st.
The $1 and $2 will remain the same as the system will not allow me to created new tiers below the $3 range.
If you wish to save the sale tax , please you'll need to change your current pledge to one of these new tiers.
Otherwise and if you don't mind the extra sales tax and wish to continue you current pledge to support my work, no further action is required on your behalf.
Additional Information:
"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.
If you’re in a location where sales tax will be required, you should expect to receive an email from Patreon with more information about this very soon, but I wanted to make sure you were aware of these changes way ahead of July 1st when they go into effect.
If you have questions, you should be able to find answers here. If you still have questions, the best place to get an answer is from Patreon’s customer support team, here.
Thank you for all of your support."
