Kleijn36 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 @lesley Can you make it possible to pay with Ideal or Paypall to contribute to the new updater. I like to contribute but dont have a debit or creditcard. One other thing for the future, all the invoices are with US taxes (Patreon) FA, all shop owners outside the US cant do anything with these invoices with US tax.

lesley Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Does patreon actually charge taxes on your donations? I actually donate to both the patreon and the indiegogos personally and they do not for the US users. For the indiegogo, we are not allowed to advertise alternate payment methods on there, or they will remove our campaign. You can donate to our paypal account. If you are at a reward amount I can just manually give you the reward. Our paypal is under contact@thirtybees.com Also, they do not let us manually add people or adjust the donations, so keep that in mind as well, bu your support will be much appreciated.

lesley Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Interesting, I did not know it charged VAT. I don't think there is anything we can do about it, but I will ask them why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesley Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 I don't know all the rules on vat, but if you don't think you need to be charged it, you can go here, https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205259549-How-Does-VAT-Work-on-Patreon-#%E2%80%9CShouldnot%E2%80%9D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datakick Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Because perk is considered sale of digital service, every EU-based patreon will be charged VAT according to his country. That shouldn't be a problem for businesses, as most merchants are VAT payer, so they can deduct this charge back. This only negatively impacts patreons without VAT number.

lesley Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Actually if you look at his image that was from Patreon, there are no perks on that, other than special blog post access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briljander Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 @datakick Do you know how to make that work? What I know the invoice from Patreon should be without VAT if you are a company within EU right? But I do also get charged VAT on my Patreon invoices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleijn36 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Patreon collect al the taxes and pay it to the local tax authorities, so we can deduct this charge back from the local tax authorities. On the invoice you can see an EU Vat Number EU826426378, an invoices wit the local currency would be nice. Member State NL VAT Number NL EU826426378 Date when request received 2018/05/11 00:20:07 More information on: How-Does-VAT-Work-on-Patreon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
