Quick Update re: sales tax
Added 2020-05-29 22:05:25 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
You've probably heard about this from patreon or other creators already (if not, expect a more technical email from patreon soon) but there are some tax changes happening with patreon pledges that may affect the price of your pledge from July onward. I've updated my tiers to reflect that there are no physical goods involved and that the majority of the pledge is just to support my work, so these changes should be minimal,
From Patreon:
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.
So hopefully this won't have too much of an impact on anyone, however if you need to drop a tier or adjust your amount to account for this, I fully understand!
At this stage there won't be any change to my tier costs, but if for any reason the prices go up more significantly or Patreon introduce a tax-included option (they are looking into it apparently) then I will update my amounts accordingly.
Sorry for any inconveniences this may cause, hopefully it won't have much impact on anyone!
More info from patreon is available here if you're interested, and you should get an email soon if this will affect your charges.
Thank you again for the continued support!
