An update on sales tax
Added 2020-05-20 20:03:33 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
Here's an update on some changes that may affect some of your pledges. Due to new laws in several countries and US states, Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges starting July 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.
Whether or not you will be charged sales tax depends on your location. 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.
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.
If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask. I'll reply the best i can.
A massive Thank You for all your support!😀
