Announcement: Taxes (Patreon)

Hello all. I am writing in to inform you that due to recent changes to state sales tax law in the United States and some other countries. Due to changes that are above my pay grade, Patreon will begin to charge sales tax on some pledges starting on July 1st. 

Whether you are charged sales tax in your area will depend entirely on where you are. In most areas, it will be less than a 12% add on to the existing patronage amounts. So, if you are pledging $5, it might be somewhere in the range of 5.20 to 5.55, depending on your jurisdiction. I've done what I can in how I measure benefits to try and mitigate that, but we won't be able to see what the actual impacts of that for a while. 

Patreon will be reaching out to you soon about this change, but I decided I'd try to get ahead of things. If you have more questions, Patreon has provided me with some links to share: 

If you have questions, you should be able to find answers here. If you still have questions, the best place to get an answer is from Patreon’s customer support team, here.  

I remain honored by your continuing support. Thank you all so much, and I hope you have a great night.
