Adult Industry Accountant UK — Simplr Accounting

Adult Industry
Accounting,
Simplr.

Non-judgemental online accountants for UK content creators, platform earners, cam models and adult industry professionals.

Whether you earn on OnlyFans, Fansly, AdmireMe, work as a cam model or provide escort services, we keep your income reported correctly, your expenses claimed properly and your tax obligations clear.

01 / Why Simplr

Accounting that understands how adult creators actually earn.

Platform income is not always straightforward. Payouts arrive in different currencies, fees are deducted before you see the money, and not every accountant understands how to report it. We do.

01

Non-judgemental

We work with adult industry professionals as we would any other client. Your income is legal, your tax matters and we are here to help.

02

Platform income expertise

We understand how OnlyFans, Fansly, AdmireMe and cam platforms pay out, deduct fees and report earnings — and how to handle it correctly.

03

Expenses reviewed

Equipment, props, costumes, studio hire, broadband, phone, marketing, software and safety costs — we help identify what you can legitimately claim.

04

Self Assessment filed

Your tax return is prepared, checked and submitted to HMRC with your income and expenses reported accurately.

05

VAT and MTD ready

As earnings grow, we help with VAT registration, digital records and Making Tax Digital requirements when they apply.

06

Fixed monthly fees

No surprise bills, no confusing jargon — just clear accounting support at a price you know upfront.

Do adult creators pay tax in the UK?

If you earn it,
HMRC wants to know.

Adult industry income is taxable in the UK, exactly like any other self-employed earnings. If your income from any platform or personal services exceeds £1,000 in a tax year, you need to register as self-employed and file a Self Assessment return.

If your taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in a rolling 12 months, VAT registration is required. And if your qualifying income exceeds £50,000, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax will apply from 2026.

04 / FAQs

Creator tax questions, straight answers.

Quick answers before you book a call.

Do I need to declare OnlyFans or Fansly income?
Yes. Income from any subscription platform, including OnlyFans, Fansly and AdmireMe, is taxable in the UK. If your earnings exceed £1,000 in a tax year, you need to register as self-employed and file a Self Assessment return.
Is my adult industry work treated the same as any other business?
Yes. Provided your work is legal, HMRC treats adult industry self-employment income the same as any other self-employed earnings. You pay Income Tax and National Insurance on your taxable profit.
What expenses can adult creators claim?
Common allowable expenses include equipment such as cameras and lighting, props, costumes, studio hire, broadband, phone, marketing, editing software, platform fees and a proportion of home working costs — provided they are genuinely for the business.
Will my work be kept confidential?
Yes. All client information is treated with complete confidentiality as required by professional standards. We work with adult industry clients regularly and handle everything with discretion.
Do I need to register for VAT?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in a rolling 12-month period. This applies to platform income in the same way it does to any other business.
Should I operate as a sole trader or limited company?
It depends on your earnings, tax position and goals. Many creators start as sole traders and consider incorporating as income grows. We can help you work out which structure makes sense for you.
