New cover! And tax information!
🕑 Added 2020-05-22 17:26:39 +0000 UTCHello my amazing patrons!!
Here is my latest cover, super super requested after doing Into the Unknown! Took us a while but we got there xD. We had a lot of fun belting this one, even if we had to do it remotely.
I wanted to give you an update on some changes that we’ll be seeing that 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.
Based on location, some 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. In many cases, it will be even less.
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 is 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.
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 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 in this help center article here. If you still have questions, the best place to get an answer is from Patreon’s customer support team, here.

Anymore GTS coming soon? I think “ Rain on Me” by Gaga & Ariana Grande would go really well (as in it would go so horribly wrong) after a few translates!

This was great! If Johnny was in fact dying, as you thought he might in your arrangement stream, he did a great job not showing it. :-)

Somehow I thought this was gonna be Google Translates take on tax law.

I haven't seen Frozen II yet so I haven't heard the original but your version was great.

This is strangely interesting to me, since I've been paying the EU VAT of 17% on all pledges ever since I joined. It's... pretty normal for me.

You three are a powerful team! And your voices blend so well together! Also thanks for the tax update.
