Patreon sales tax to *some* things starts July 1st (Patreon)

For those that haven't seen it yet, long story short, the EU bullshit is adding tax to digital stuff. It's based on the language of the Tier you're subscribed to, so for example my Tier $1 which is just general support is exempt from the tax, but Tier $5 since it offers a "vote" and Tier $10 which offers a vote and early viewing is taxable. I just pulled all of this from Patreon's FAQ so for more info click here.
I might have to do some restructuring but we'll see how this shakes out.
The tax rates are apparently going to be all over the place (tier level, location, extra laws at said location) but here's a ballpark of what to expect
