Sales Tax reminder, what's in the pipeline
Added 2020-06-28 16:28:47 +0000 UTCHello all,
I've mentioned this before, but we're coming up on July, so I wanted to touch on it one last time...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.
According to Patreon about less than half of all patrons will be charged sales tax, and for most, the amount will be very small. Patreon estimates the amount will be it will average out to just a few cents for most users.
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’ve completed some paperwork with Patreon that classifies the material in certain ways, that should save most of you affected a few cents. 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 ahead of July 1st when they go into effect.
In happier news -- I'm putting that voice work to good use. Right now I'm rendering our first proper NSFW video (by popular demand) where Willow gives a guy the business before...giving him the business :), and she basically engages in some deliriously sassy smack-talk as she does it. Should be coming in the next few days; Titaness and Scarlett to follow.
Thanks for the support, as always. You guys are the best.

Thanks for the reminder! I live in NY, so I know I am gonna be getting the sales tax. I’m not too worried about it. I’m happy to pledge to you. If that means I need to spend a few extra cents, so be it. Keep up the great work!
