Good morning everyone!

Thank you to everyone who completed their Smoke Test last week. We found a couple small issues that we have fixed related to taxes and shipping fees for the EU. Here are the changes:

Since we charge a flat fee for VAT, duties, and administration, our 25% international fee now includes the tax charged for shipping, so shipping is not taxed within BackerKit for EU backers.
The "shipping" cost to cover VAT for digital items in the EU has been slightly tweaked to better align with VAT rates and what our smoke test backers were charged.

Nothing else has changed since the last update. We're thinking about ways we can make this BackerKit setup less convoluted for future campaigns, but international taxes are inherently convoluted. I've attached a poll here for international backers to ask about how you would prefer to be charged for the extra costs involved with international sales.

Surveys and Final Digital Files

Immediately after posting this update, we will be sending out surveys for everyone. We already have the final digital files ready, so as soon as you complete your survey, you will have access to the full zip file for Death Pays All Debts. You will then get these later via Shopify, DTRPG, and Itch.io, but we will be using BackerKit to give you access while printing finishes and fulfillment commences.

Until next time,

Violet

For international backers, would you prefer to pay for VAT and duties via a fee charged in the Pledge Manager, or would you prefer a higher pledge level price with VAT, duties, and admin fees built into a separate pledge level for international backers?
