uh guys?

I barely understand it all but I might have to close my patreon because of this

then again I don’t understand anything in this crazy world of beaurocracy can someone give me advice?

  1. balthasarx answered: since you use patreon for it rather than your own site this does not apply to you. See the flow chart on the page you linked.
  2. ingle-name-change answered: As far as I can tell, your patreon isnt actually selling a product, so you are fine. and if it was selling a product, if you have at least one live stream a month with viewer feedback. You could also sell blank pdfs through amazon instead of patreon.
  3. reddpenn answered: It doesn’t look like this applies to you at all. I think you’re fine.
  4. izzikat answered: That’s horrible! Wtf. They really should rewrite that law to spare small time companies/creative people. >:[
  5. dandywonderous answered: From that flowchart it looks like the changes shouldn’t affect you. That said, you’d be better off contacting HRMC directly than asking tumblr. Patreon might also know more.
  6. frogclabon answered: it’s utter bullshit. I’ve had to stop commissions until I work out whats

  9. curvedcat answered: I think I heard about a similar shit in my country too, but neither I’m sure about what kind of stuff is this or how much we digital artist are affected. I want to launch a pateron too at some point, but I need to know if it’s legal to do so.
  10. potentialforart answered: Looking at that flowchart, where it says you’re using a third party website and not your own for money, I think you’re safe?
  11. seinrunarako answered: ahh, no, you shouldn'y be affected! the flowchart at the bottom says that if you offer your product/service purely through a third party website (e.g Patreon) then you will not be affected by the rule change! At least, I sincerely hope that’s correct

    Reblogging to ask if any of my followers can help and give advice. This is an awesome artist and creator and I’d hate...
  13. k25ff answered: Follow that flowchart, email HMRC if you’re not sure. Patreon sounds like it’s a third party marketplace.
  14. wemarchalonearchive answered: basically what it means is that if you dont comply with the new stuff you’ll be committing tax fraud since patreon is based in america. :( its really stupid and it sucks a lot but idk what can really be done to get past it.
  15. wearestill answered: a canada based artist I follow closed hers down bc of tax issues - that was a few months ago. maybe you could contact patreon and ask about similar cases.
