patreon sales tax (Patreon)

so, an annoying thing is being included on patreon starting july 1 and that is that certain people depending on their state laws will have a sales tax added to their pledges. this will on average affect about 30% of patron as a lot of states don't tax purely digital content. the taxed amount will range from i'm guessing 20 cents on one dollar pledges to  1 dollar on 6 dollar pledges

i don't want this to catch anyone off guard.

now, they are adding some tools for us creators that will help reduce this  depending on the type of content we provide, and one of those tools is determining how much of the pledges can be considered as a charitable donation from patrons to simply support a creator. given the fact that a lot of my content is available on sites like deviantart i think i have a strong case to relieve a lot of that  tax . i know that at the worst case scenario it would be  an added dollar, but i'd rather reduce that dollar to something like 30 cents.

so i'll definitely work on doing that because all of you have enabled me to be creatively free in a way i've never had the option and for that you have my sincere gratitude.
