An Update on Patreon Sales Tax

Added 2020-06-08 15:46:14 +0000 UTC

Hello Citations Needed supporters,

We wanted to let you know about some upcoming changes that may affect some of your Patreon pledges. Due to new laws passing in several countries and U.S. states, Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges starting July 1st.

Thankfully, less than half of all patrons will be charged sales tax, and for most, the amount will be relatively small. For example, sales tax rates in the U.S. range from 4% to 11%, so on a $5 pledge, that would be between 20 cents and 55 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, if you haven't already, but we wanted to make sure you were aware of these changes ahead of July 1st when they go into effect.

If you have questions, you should be able to find answers here. If you still have questions, the best place to get an answer is from Patreon’s customer support team, here.

As always, thank you for all of your support of Citations Needed.

- Florence, Adam, Nima, and Julianne
