Sales Tax Notice :( (Patreon)

There are some changes happening in Patreon for sales tax that will affect some USA patrons starting July 1st. This affects ALL CREATORS. So if you support a lot of Patreons really make sure you look into this.

 (Details here ) I went in and specified what type of support many of you give which should offset the majority of it.  Since I release my models for free, that means a lot of your support counts as general donations rather than a money exchange for goods. General donations aren't taxed. Of course I do also offer a service to you with my shared Google Drives, Tier Rewards, Contests and Live streams, so some tiers will see it go up. 

We'll see how it works out! It ranges from 4% to 11% so at absolute worse it'll raise a $5 pledge by $0.20 to $0.55. Still sucks I know. I'll see if I can make any more changes but I figure I should post something before the first rolls in.

I wish I had more control over this folks. If this is the last straw for some given the financial strain of the pandemic I do understand, and my Drive link will be available for folks until November. I know its not much but its something. Take care and thanks my friends.

You're the first (so far only) person we support who gave a heads up. Thanks!

Understood. I have a Patron account myself so I have been following the accounments. However, I do appreciate you being open and informative about it. Here for the long haul.

Do we need to do anything to change tiers from where we're currently at? A couple other creators I follow have created new tiers to account for the tax change.

Nope. I've ensured each tier pays as minimal as possible, especially the $5 tier given you're donating more than anything else.

I understand you must be in a tough spot yourself, too. I’m fortunate that I’ve come out of the pandemic relatively financially unscathed - so I’ve increased my pledge to you. Hopefully I can help smooth out the ride a little for you!

is patron collecting the tax, or are you? If it is Patron, then you should not have to do anything, as it will all be done under thier tax umbrella. If it is you, god help you because you ned to file for a tax id in every state you intend to collect tax for and maintain a separate bank account for taxes. If it is you, consult a tax attorney, you may be better of filing for a 501(c)3 for an educational institution (teaching model design and painting techniques) to avoid this whole sales tax mess. i am lucky and able to eat the minor increase, just praying patron is the one doing the taxes, because if not, your screwed

Well, I still have a job so I’ll just up my tier a little. Taxation is theft when it’s intellectual properly

You’re the best man. I just realized you’re keeping the google drive open to people til November. For this alone I’ll stay a patron.
