A Fun Chat About Taxes!

I'd like to quickly take a moment to talk about that stuff everyone hates--legal stuff. 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. Yes, yes, I know. Boooooooo!
Less than half of all patrons will be charged sales tax, and for most, the amount will be very small (sales tax rates in the US range from 4% to 11%) Whether or not you will be charged sales tax depends on your location, and what is considered taxable there. The money goes to local governments, not to me or to Patreon.
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 shortly. Please visit this FAQ if you have questions.
TL;DR: Governments are taxing some pledges. I'm not getting the extra money, and I think it sucks too. But here we are.
As always, thank you for your continued support! I know my posts have been a bit sparse lately. I'm not making as much progress on things as I would like due to current circumstances, but I'm still here!
