Patreon will sent message to patron that will effect by this later next month.

Summary 

- If you don't live in THESE country (or state) You will not effect by this (or until your country have a law for this) *not include EU

- If you live in THESE country (or state) you will get charge on top of pledge as sales tax in 1 July 2020 

but Patreon let creator to set benefit value that are effect how much pledge that will get calculate as sales tax

I set to minimize sales tax to effect only 10% of total pledge across all tier since all patron get the same benefit

[Benefit: Promocode, Archive, Supporting]

Example

You pledge on Tier 3 [10USD] and live in California 

On 1 July 

only 10% of total pledge will get to calculate as seals tax because Archive benefit is a digital good

if sales tax in California is 7.75% 

it will only calculate on 1USD so 7.75% of 1USD is 0.0775 USD 

Patreon will charge you 10.0775 USD

*other benefit doesn't count because is a one-time reward

Thank You.
