Questions & Answers
Do sex workers pay tax in Australia?
Yes. Income earned through sex work, OnlyFans, subscription platforms, cam services, brand collaborations, digital content, and private bookings is generally considered taxable by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Whether you consider your work a side hustle or a full-time business, all earnings must be declared. Because many adult industry professionals and content creators receive income from multiple platforms or international sources, keeping accurate records and planning ahead for tax is critical.
Working with an accountant who understands both the adult industry and the creator economy can help you stay compliant, minimise stress, and avoid unexpected tax bills.
What tax deductions can sex workers claim?
If you earn income as a sex worker or digital content creator, you may be able to claim deductions for expenses directly related to producing your income. Depending on your situation, this can include platform fees, advertising, photography, videography, editing software, equipment, internet costs, professional services, and workspace expenses.
The key principle is that the expense must be genuinely connected to your work and supported by appropriate records. Because every creator’s business model is different, personalised advice ensures your deductions are compliant while helping you avoid overpaying tax.
Why work with an accountant who specialises in sex workers and content creators?
Adult industry professionals and content creators often operate modern businesses with layered income streams, evolving platform rules, privacy considerations, and unique banking requirements. A specialist accountant understands these nuances and provides advice tailored to the way you earn.
Beyond tax compliance, the right accountant can help you structure your business effectively, manage cash flow, plan ahead for large tax liabilities, and support long-term financial growth. The goal is not just staying organised at tax time, but building lasting financial confidence.
Do sex workers and OnlyFans creators need to register for GST?
You are generally required to register for GST once your business turnover reaches $75,000 within a 12 month period. This applies whether your income is earned through subscription platforms like OnlyFans, fan sites, agency work, collaborations, or independent services.
GST can become complex for content creators, particularly when platforms process payments on your behalf or when income is generated from overseas subscribers. Seeking early guidance helps ensure you register at the correct time, meet your obligations, and avoid penalties.
Will I feel judged talking about my work?
You should always feel safe discussing your income with a professional advisor. Accountants are bound by strict confidentiality obligations, ensuring your personal and financial information is handled with discretion and professionalism.
Working with a team experienced in the adult industry and creator space also means you will not need to explain the basics of how platforms operate or how you generate income. Our role is to provide clear, respectful support so you can make informed financial decisions without hesitation.

Empire Industry is hands down the only ones I trust with my accounting. They’re always quick to respond and are super helpful with any questions I have. They are completely accepting and welcoming of all sex work industry members and isn’t that just a breath of fresh air! Empire Industry referred me to an equally open minded broker who I worked with to recently buy my first house. If it wasn’t for these guys I’d still have a box of receipts lost in a draw in my office, cash stuffed in my mattress and the looming thought that the tax man would find me one day. Now I have nothing to worry about!

I also wanted to say thank you to all you guys for how easy you have made this process. I’m sending so many people your way, and my friends who have used you so far have all been so happy at the ease and convenience of the service you provide. I put my tax off because it was just so hard everywhere else and after working with you, I’m still so stunned at how simple it was. Thank you!
