Yeah, I think if you can submit like a tax code or something, then you don’t necessarily have to have 20% taken away in US tax, but because I’m considered too poor to pay tax in the UK, I don’t have anything like that to submit to itch as I've never been given one, so they have no choice but to take the maximum of 20% so they’re covered legally or something >.<
It helps that Ko-Fi is a UK company I think :3 And they basically tell you that taxes and stuff are your own responsibility so if you’re selling stuff on there, you need to keep on top of it yourself.
As far as I’m aware though after having spoken to an advisor on stuff like that a couple of years ago, because I’m receiving donations rather than selling things for an income, and because I don’t receive an amount in donations that breaches a certain figure, I don’t have to think about any of that sort of thing, and a good job too cos I wouldn’t have the clue wtf I was doing x3
Well, it’s very kind of you to consider supporting creators cos a lot of people probably still wouldn’t choose to even if they were in a position to do so :3
I’m actually just about to make a post over on Ko-Fi and set a brand new funding goal since the current one was just reached today! ^-^
And man, that means so much to me I don’t even have the words x3 I guess we have pretty similar tastes, haha. Somehow, I still haven’t managed to make the ultimate yandere that always lurks somewhere in the back of my mind just out of reach xD but maybe I’ll get there someday!
