Hi everyone,
I wanted to give you an update on some changes that we’ll be seeing which may affect some of your pledges.Due to new laws passing in several countries and US states, Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges starting July 1st. Those of you may already got an email from patreon on June 1st.
Less than half of all patrons will be charged sales tax, and for most, the amount will be very small. For example, sales tax rates in the US range from 4% to 11%, so on a $5 pledge, that would be between 20 cents and 55 cents. By the looks of it shout outs and patreon only post are exempt. I'm not entirely sure but based off of reading this is what i have found.
Whether or not you will be charged sales tax depends on your location, and what is considered taxable there. Not every pledge is taxable, not all benefits are taxable in every location, and sometimes only a fraction of a pledge will be taxable. The money that Patreon collects as a result of these laws are paid directly to local governments.
I’m working closely with Patreon to ensure I’m able to save you as much money as possible when it comes to sales tax - which is not something that’s possible with other platforms.
If you’re in a location where sales tax will be required, you should expect to receive an email from Patreon with more information about this very soon, but I wanted to make sure you were aware of these changes way ahead of July 1st when they go into effect.
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.
Thank you for all of your support.

I'm so shocked and appalled by this channel making millions of money of ARMY and other views on K-POP lyric videos. I'm asking that you find other lyric videos to watch outside of Zaty Farhani and to be exceptionally careful on which videos you are watching. This is my request but I will respect whatever decision you make. Thank you
