A Quick But Kind Of Annoying Update About Taxes (Patreon)
Content
Hey folks! So, as you may have already heard from other creators, Patreon is being held accountable for sales taxes in the US now, which I think is pretty fair given that lots of people use it as effectively a recurring sales platform. That's not really what I do, though, so I don't believe this will affect most of you. I went through and marked all the tiers with their appropriate rewards, but to the best of my knowledge none of those rewards are taxable: They're mostly shout-outs and some exclusive content, there's no commissions, no physical goods or services, so I don't expect any of this to result in extra charges for any of you. That said, I am not an expert on the tax code of all 50 states so if you *do* wind up getting hit with sales tax for any of it, I'm sorry, and I totally understand if the increased cost makes you choose to stop supporting. I get it. I think it's not supposed to start until July anyway, so you've got time, but they'll be announcing it publicly soon so I figured it was worth communicating the situation in regards to my page.
