Liberapay shares similarities with the for-profit platform [[Patreon]], but it does not allow creators to reward their patrons like Patreon does. This difference in the nature of the transactions has tax implications, for example Patreon collects [[Value-added tax|VAT]] on all payments made from inside the [[European Union]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205259549-How-does-VAT-work-on-Patreon-|title=How does VAT work on Patreon?|date=2018-03-25}}</ref> whereas Liberapay does not.<ref>[https://twitter.com/liberapay/status/973554555140104192 Tweet from Liberapay about VAT], 2018-03-13.</ref>
