Hello! I’ll start unlocking my reviews now slowly! I’m still dealing with my Patreon so I haven’t done anything new yet! I’m hoping to sort it out first then start doing new commentary/reviews!

But I’ve been confused about whether I need to give Patreon a VAT number, especially if I don’t have one. Then when I looked into VAT number they started to talk about being self employed and self assessment and I’m just like I don’t know what I’m doing!

Should I create my own VAT number? But if it’s just to use in hopes for extra cash right now? Is that fine if I’m not self employed but do I count as being self employed as soon as I use Patreon as a creator and get a VAT? Or can I just use VAT part blank on the 8-WBEN form that I need to fill out because I am not a US citizen?

I do eventually want to be self employed but Patreon wasn’t a part of it, just a way to earn some extra cash to travel with and to use on my travel website (Which is my main focus)

I’m very confused!
