Kickstarter operates as a marketplace facilitator, and funds raised on Kickstarter are generally subject to taxes. We are responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax for items shipped to all 50 US states, as well as collecting VAT (value-added tax) on items shipped to backers in the EU and the UK.
How much you owe can vary based on a number of factors, including the deduction of project-related expenses.
We highly recommend talking to an accountant or tax advisor to ensure you are compliant with applicable tax regulations. They can guide you through your particular tax scenario in the most advantageous way possible.
While we can't offer tax advice, we have compiled a guide for financial professionals who may not be familiar with Kickstarter.
Yes, we do! We’ll send you a report after your pledge manager has closed.
