in regards to the upcoming patreon SALES TAX (Patreon)

Hey peoples,

first up, I'm using a template from patreon for this info box, because I really didn't wanna tell you guys anything that's wrong or cause misunderstandings ^^° (please bear that in mind, everything that is in " ... " is from patreon, the brackets are my added words), there we go:

"I wanted to give you an update on some changes that we’ll be seeing which may affect some of your pledges.  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.

I’m  working closely with Patreon to ensure I’m able to save you as much  money as possible when it comes to sales tax - which is not something  that’s possible with other platforms." (I added therefore another tier for downloadable content and things that is more likely to be taxable and deleted downloadable stuff from the existing tiers! Please choose the one you feel most safe with! I hope I did it correctly - I don't really understand yet how they are gonna go about this whole thing either, so lets figure this out together and how much it will even do in the end - from what I've read Little fish and sea monster should NOT be taxable, but I can't promise that - obviously - Ta Moè)

"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, but I wanted to make sure you were aware of these  changes way 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. "

Thank you my peeps for reading and understanding :)

I do understand if any of you don't feel safe with the changes and leave the pledge,

but keep in mind, it either won't affect my tiers much or if we are lucky not at all. :)

I'm grateful for your support either way you decide <3<3
