Sales Tax

Hi everyone,
You may have noticed that sales tax (or VAT/GST/QST or other similar tax) was added to your recent pledge. Patreon sent an email out about this back on June 1st, but in case you missed it, this change is due to new laws being passed in many countries and US states requiring online platforms like Patreon to charge sales tax.
Whether or not a patron is charged sales tax depends on their location, and what is considered taxable there. 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 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.
Thank you for all of your support!
