About the Sales Tax Thing + Short Update
Added 2020-05-21 00:45:30 +0000 UTCHey guys, I figured I'd let you know about an upcoming situation in case im the only person you support on patreon.
Starting in July, patreon will start charging some people sales tax for their pledges, similar to the already applied VAT for Europe.
Apparently this will apply to less than half of all patrons, which means for most people, they'll notice no difference. For those it does apply to, it wouldn't be any more than 10% at most I've been told, and because all of my tiers have multiple items given for support, some of which cannot be taxed at all, for most affected people it will actually be significantly lower than sales tax.
All of the money collected via taxed pledges goes towards your local government, the new tax rules were apparently supposed to be for stuff like Netflix purchases but hit online creators as well.
I'm still learning about this myself and if anything about it changes, I'll let you guys know.
In other news, we have a new crop of 10 dollar supporters this week. I wanna let you guys know that I'm gonna try to have an early version of the strip poker game available to you on Friday, and if possible an extra sex scene.
Thank you everyone for your support, I'll see you guys on Friday with a regular update.
Stay happy and safe everyone!

Because a lot of the ones in charge have no idea how finances actually work, and we gotta pay the price for it
