Thanks (and new tax information)
Added 2020-05-06 22:29:09 +0000 UTCI wanted to take a second to thank all those who wished me a happy birthday, and to everyone else who's here supporting me. You being here continues to mean the world to me, and I hope these images of Trinity help convey that:
I wish this could all be about good stuff, but I also wanted to bring to your attention some changes Patreon is making regarding the collection of sales tax of some users starting July 1st. You'll be getting info on this soon enough (if not already), but I felt it was best to share it here so everyone knows what's coming (per Patreon):
- We estimate that less than half of all patrons will have sales tax added to their pledge, and for most of them, the amount will be relatively 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 a patron will be taxed depends on where they live (not where you (TGTrinity) are located), what benefits you offer, and what’s taxable in the patron’s location. Tax rates and laws about what is taxable vary from place to place.
When I get more information I'll share it with y'all, and if you have any further questions you can find out more on Patreon's FAQ.
Thanks again for your support, and I hope you're all doing well out there!

Sorry, I have no idea how VPN's will affect it.

2020-05-07 16:52:08 +0000 UTCYea we had this in the EU since a few years ago, I'm surprised it took so long for the US and other countries. Still isn't great tho.

2020-05-07 07:23:26 +0000 UTCThanks for the update, since as of your posting Patreon hasn't said a word. And of course California the so called golden state is on the list, anyway they can tax us the happier they are. Thanks for the awesome pictures, I like that you don't ever post without giving us something special in return.
