From the Patreon FAQ:

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax assessed on the value added to goods and services — including digital. It’s charged as a percentage of a price (e.g. $1.00 pledge with 23% VAT will have a final cost of $1.23).

On Patreon, we cover the collecting and remittance of VAT charged to patrons. We’ve made these guides to help creators and patrons through how VAT applies to them:

For patrons, we list the amount of VAT added to your membership payments on your Billing History page, where you can also download a VAT-compliant invoice beginning December 1, 2021.

Well, part of that could be exchange rate (although it does seem like you’re factoring some of that into your mental calculation of your post). For the exact amount of your VAT, according to their FAQ, you should be able to see the exact amount on your Billing History page.

Did you see taxes charged to you in this month (February)? Do those taxes explain the overcharge of your OP?

Given that Gumroad recently started cracking down the VAT VPN loophole, it may be that, recently, merchants have been put on notice by the tax authorities to do a “better” (from the authorities’ perspective) of collecting those taxes, if the merchants want to continue to do business in their territories.

Hi @marauder, Sapien is a ‘per month creator’.
One’s Patreon contributions to Sapien are once monthly, rather than once per post.

Around about how many percent more new audios would you say that are on their but not on YouTube? I’m trying to decide as well and it’s definitely reasonable just wanting to get a bit more money first.

That would be hard to say, but not many, i guess the major benefit is to be able to download them plus supporting someone that gives us so much free too.
Also sigils and pdfs of other super valuable info

I agree with what you said! But also would you say for eg there are 5 more fields, 10 more fields 20 more fields or more than that? Or less than that? And yes I agree with your points of those other reasons for joining!

I don’t think anyone has compared the exact difference in the number of fields. But there is a difference, because some fields were deleted by YouTube. An additional benefit is that downloading and playing audio from the device spends several times less Internet traffic and electricity than listening from YouTube
