Update about sales tax
Added 2020-05-28 18:17:58 +0000 UTCHi guys,
I wanted to give you an update on some changes that we’ll be seeing 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 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.
When I get home tonight, I will explore the possibility of lowering the cost of my tiers to compensate with the sales tax beginning 7/1. If this is something you guys would be interested in, let me know. I’m here to accommodate you guys, as you have done for me too.
