Sex Workers & OnlyFans Creators Taxes for Canadians

Q: Do I need to register for GST/HST?

If your worldwide taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 in a 12-month period, you are generally required to register for GST/HST—even if your platform collects payments. Many creators miss this, which can lead to back taxes and penalties. We assess whether registration is required and handle the setup correctly.

Q: Can I deduct expenses like lingerie, costumes, makeup, or phone bills?

Yes — if the expenses are directly related to earning your income. CRA allows reasonable deductions such as content outfits, makeup, props, lighting, camera equipment, editing software, internet, phone usage, and even a portion of home rent if you use a dedicated workspace. We help categorize expenses correctly so they are defensible, documented, and compliant if CRA ever reviews your return.

Yes. In Canada, income earned from sex work, OnlyFans, camming, escorting, or adult content creation is taxable income under CRA rules. The CRA does not judge the source of income—only whether it is reported correctly. Failing to report income can lead to penalties, interest, or audits, even if payments are received through platforms or third-party processors.

Is OnlyFans income considered self-employment income?

In most cases, yes. OnlyFans creators are typically considered self-employed independent contractors, not employees. This means you are responsible for reporting income, tracking expenses, and paying income tax and, where applicable, CPP contributions. Proper classification is important to avoid CRA issues later.

What expenses can sex workers and OnlyFans creators deduct?

You may be able to deduct legitimate business expenses, such as:

Platform fees (OnlyFans, Fansly, etc.)
Costumes, lingerie, props, and makeup (business-use portion)
Camera, phone, lighting, and computer equipment
Internet and phone expenses
Home office expenses (if eligible)
Accounting and bookkeeping fees

We help determine what is reasonable, defensible, and CRA-safe, so you don’t overclaim or miss deductions.

Do I need to register for GST/HST?

If your worldwide taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 in a 12-month period, you are generally required to register for GST/HST—even if your platform collects payments. Many creators miss this, which can lead to back taxes and penalties. We assess whether registration is required and handle the setup correctly.

Will the CRA know about my OnlyFans or adult income?

Increasingly, yes. The CRA receives data from payment processors, platforms, and banks, and can request records retroactively. Reporting accurately from the start—or correcting past filings voluntarily—can help avoid audits, penalties, and legal stress.

Is my information kept confidential?

Absolutely. Confidentiality is critical in this industry. We handle all client information discreetly and professionally. Your work, income sources, and personal details are treated with strict privacy and respect, just like any other business client.

What if I haven’t reported income in previous years?

You’re not alone—and it’s fixable. We can help you correct past filings through the CRA Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) when appropriate, which may reduce penalties and interest. The key is acting before the CRA contacts you.

Do I need to register a business to report OnlyFans or adult content income?

No, you are not required to register a corporation to report your income. Most sex workers and OnlyFans creators in Canada operate as sole proprietors by default, even if they never formally registered a business. As long as you report all income and expenses on your personal tax return (T2125), you are compliant. Incorporation may make sense later if your income grows significantly or for liability and tax planning purposes.

Can I deduct expenses like lingerie, costumes, makeup, or phone bills?

Yes — if the expenses are directly related to earning your income. CRA allows reasonable deductions such as content outfits, makeup, props, lighting, camera equipment, editing software, internet, phone usage, and even a portion of home rent if you use a dedicated workspace. We help categorize expenses correctly so they are defensible, documented, and compliant if CRA ever reviews your return.
