Overview

  • The Sun reports HMRC asked OnlyFans for earnings information on top UK creators as part of a tax compliance review.
  • At least one high-earning creator was reportedly assessed and faced a tax bill well above £20,000, according to the tabloid.
  • HMRC told the outlet it uses a variety of approaches to ensure taxpayers understand their obligations and pay what they owe.
  • Earnings from subscription platforms are subject to normal income tax rules and, depending on turnover and services, may involve VAT.
  • Coverage references celebrities such as Megan Barton-Hanson, John Whaite and Lottie Moss, with no suggestion they are subjects of any investigation.
