Update, EP5 Progress & Tax on Patreon
🕑 Added 2020-05-29 16:35:22 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
just saw that info on another Creators post:
Due to new laws passing in several countries and US states, Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges starting July 1st.
Less than half of all patrons will be charged sales tax, and for most, the amount will be very small. For example, sales tax rates in the US range from 4% to 11%, so on a $5 pledge, that would be between 20 cents and 55 cents.
Whether or not you will be charged sales tax depends on your 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.
Good to know! Since I am based in Austria, I had to pay tax for all my pledges anyway. So I am not sure if that will really change anything for the majority of you.
And now some fun stuff:
- If you have not yet seen it, check out the latest update of BHA (17.4) for PC on Steam and Affect3D. I just love the new colour selection :)
- We are already working on an update for BHA for Android&Browser(WebGL). I hope to have that done in 2-3 weeks.
- Episode 5 is coming along nicely and I am aiming for a release in July. Don´t know if it will be middle or end of July. But July should be doable.
- I added nice little stars to the reward tiers :)
Last but not least: until the release of Episode 5, I will switch to weekly updates again. After that I need a proper break. Also summer holidays for school are coming for my kid and family, so after the release of EP5 I will take it easy in summer and switch to 2-week update cycles.
Alright, that's it for now! Have a nice weekend :)
Best,
Puppetmaster

Hi, no that is not correct. You can get codes for my products on Affect3D, not for anything ;)

Welcome! And man, tell me about it... I have to pay around 50% of my income tax&insurance. So at the end of the day, I get only half of what I earn.

Thanks for the update, heads up, and taxation is theft.
