About Patreon Sales Tax
Added 2020-05-21 01:41:04 +0000 UTCHey friends,
As you may be aware, Patreon is now collecting sales tax as appropriate for wherever you live. Some places have no sales tax, while others have sales tax of variable amounts. Also, certain types of patron tier rewards are taxed while others aren't.
The long and short of it is that this sales tax may be added on top of what you contribute to me. This extra amount only goes to Patreon, and then to the appropriate government. I see none of it.
I have tweaked my tier reward structure to increase clarity that you only get a tangible reward at the $2 level (early access), and anything beyond that is for intangibles such as your name in the credits, your name as a sponsor, higher priority for your suggestions for the game, or just to show your appreciation.
I changed some wording in the patron tiers just now, but all rewards are remaining the same. I believe I have minimized the effect of sales tax while preserving honesty, especially for those of you at the $5+ level.
