📮 Let me give you an update on sales tax 🧶

Hey guyys! 💛
How are you? I hope you are happy and staying safe. How is it in your area btw? Are places opening back up again? Are you allowed to meet people? Do you have to wear masks always?

Here in Guadalajara things are almost back to "normal" - only with masks and you have to keep your distance to other people.

I wanted to give you an update on a new law that passed which may affect some of your pledges:
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. 

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.

I have adjusted the benefit's descriptions for all tiers to ensure I’m able to save you as much money as possible on sales tax if it applies in your location.

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. 

Ok that's enough sales tax talk - this is probably my most boring post ever haha. But it is important 🧶

Ok guys <3, have a lovely day! ✨
