Big and uncertain news (Patreon)
Content
Alright, this will be a bit dense.
I promise I won't get political this is only really for context. As you may or may not know France (like a lot of other countries) is in a big political crisis right now. So everything I say could very well get canceled anytime if the governement get overthrown (I mean legally cuz there's about 0% chance it happens by the people themselves).
Anyway that's not what I needed to talk about.
So to simplify, the French governement just passed a bill to hit the little self-entreprises (just like I am) technically raising their taxes (basically we're not exempted from declaring VAT anymore). Now comes the annoying part, I have no idea how this will impact me. I know Patreon handles the VAT for the creators by already charging it but that's all I know.
So now there are multiple possibilities,
- Nothing changes
- I get less money when you support me for the same amount
- You have to pay more for each tier
And the worst is that I won't have any control over that because you cannot change the price of a tier on Patreon once it's setup. So if it ends up being the third option, I won't even have the possibility to lower the prices to compensate.
This situation is a big blur for me and I'm speaking without being sure of anything but I thought it was important to mention it, just in case it impacts you directly.
