Important information for all current and future Patrons (Patreon)

Patreon has let me know that on July first they will be required by law to add a small sales tax to some patron's. This all depends on what state you live in, and in what country.

In most cases it will more than likely just be a couple cents, or possibly a dollar. Here is the official chart.

In my opinion, some of the tax on these countries is insane, like Russia, or Norway for example. 20% and up is a lot! US isn't so bad.

One would love to be able to blame Patreon for this decision, but it looks like the decision came from pressure by governments, and changes in laws. To me, it sounds odd that this is decided around the world, seemingly at once, but I suppose my opinion isn't useful here.

I just wanted to let everyone know before next month. As I said before, in most cases it will probably be a few cents difference, but if you live in somewhere like Norway, this is extra important to know.
