I'm finally looking at the new sales tax stuff that Patreon is emailing about. It's confusing. But it makes me think I should update my Tiers. I want to consult with YOU first.

Sales Tax is apparently applied differently depending on where you live and WHY you support me.

"General Support" means you're not supporting my music to get anything out of it. You just want to support the show. I think that's the case for most of my patrons. 

General Support is not taxable in some locations.

I'm thinking of adding it as a benefit throughout.

I'm also thinking of turning the basic Gunn Runners Club membership to be "General Support". Yes, you would still get everything currently listed (new songs and behind-the-scenes), but it just wouldn't SAY that.

Would that affect your $5 membership at all? 

I will add it to the other levels, but I'm thinking of removing the list of things at the $5 level. What do you think?

I'm impartial to the issue.

"General Support" definitely describes me. I'm not doing this to get anything out of it; just want to help you live the dream.

Echoing others so far, I'm a general supporter because I enjoy what you do. Keep making music and podcasts and I'll call that my reward.

What several have said -- Changing the levels won't affect my support, nor will the taxes.

Jan Czenkusch

As others have said-we support you changing the levels won't matter.

Not worried about sales tax, except that it would come out of the donation before anyone gets their support money. What a wonderful time for states to stick their noses into this looking for a handout. 😝

I'll join the bandwagon. We're here to stay. Do whatever you think makes sense from the perspective of marketing to future patrons.

I'm fine paying the tax. I wouldn't want them to take money away from you to pay the tax though. As long as you don't get any less, I'm fine with whatever. :)

Jen wallace

No change from me. I am happy to do whatever I can so you keep making fantastic music😀

I'm going to increase my pledge to help cover the tax expenses. I'm not sure if that's the best way to help, or if it just means more taxes, but hopefully more makes it to you than did before the increase.

From what I'm reading, the sales tax wouldn't affect the amount Marc gets, only what we pay. So that's good. I'm game for whatever you decide on the matter, Marc.
