UPDATE: Sales Tax Refunds
9 months ago
This is an ongoing situation. Here is a link to the first journal: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11052112/
Good news everyone!
Lofiflavors spent two weekends compiling a completed list of every 2024 commission we received and subtracted out the sales taxes. He has triple-checked his numbers and every penny is accounted for.
Flavors is planning to spend Sunday, February 2nd sending out everyones' sales tax refunds. He wants me to let you know that if you have any questions regarding your sales tax refund or if you'd like to know your exact amount feel free to DM him! This will be a lot of invoices and he is going to make an effort to get them all sent out on that day so no one has to wait.
Issuing these refunds will incur a Paypal fee, which means some of your refund will be lost to it. The amount lost will vary because it is based on percentage, if there is currency conversion, etc. When we charge for our projects, Paypal also eats a fee for every transaction. It's just the cost of using payment processors like Paypal. We are not aware of any workaround to avoid fees inuring.
Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding!

Honestly I don't wanna give Paypal more money so just keep it

If it incurs a Paypal fee, what about offering it as a discount off of future commissions?

I like that idea personally!
That is possible to do, too. People can contact us and let us know that is what they would like to do. :) Some already have.
I've never heard of an artist doing something like this before, is this something you all do normally? I've never commissioned you before (though I'd like to at some point), I'm just surprised to see a small business give out any kind of tax refund to its customers
Wait I didn't read the first journal, sorry. I didn't realize it was a "oh, we didn't have to charge sales tax after all" situation rather than "we're doing refunds just because". I was a bit concerned lol
