Hi, I’m “Megan” – and yes, OnlyFans is my full-time job.
When I first started creating content, I was focused on building a fanbase, creating videos, and figuring out how to market myself—not learning how HMRC works or what on earth a “self-assessment” was.
I didn’t see myself as a business. But I was one. And I learned that the hard (and expensive) way.

My First Tax Scare
My first tax return was an absolute disaster. I tried to do it myself with Google and a bit of guesswork. I ended up owing over £4,000. I panicked—was this just the cost of being self-employed?
Turns out… no. I was just missing out on legitimate, everyday deductions that I didn’t even know were allowed.
Enter: Professional Tax Help
A fellow creator recommended OnlyTax—specialist accountants for creators like me. I wasn’t sure at first, but I booked a call and quickly realised: they got it. They understood platforms, fan sites, subs, tips, brand collabs, even crypto payments.
They reviewed my previous year and instantly spotted expenses I hadn’t claimed:
Lingerie, outfits, and makeup for shoots
Camera, lighting, and phone upgrades
Home office space
Props, subscriptions, and editing software
Travel to collabs & hotel stays
Even a portion of my rent, Wi-Fi, and heating!
The Savings? Mind-Blowing
With their help, we amended my return, claimed the correct deductions—and I ended up paying £2,300 less in tax that year.
I literally cried. That was rent for three months.
Now, every month I log my expenses with their super simple template, and they handle the boring stuff while I focus on content and growth.
Why I’ll Never Go Back to DIY Tax
This isn’t just about saving money (though yes—that too). It’s about feeling in control of my business. I understand what I can claim, I’m not scared of HMRC letters anymore, and I actually feel legit. Because I am.
My Advice to Other Creators?
Don’t wait until the January deadline. Don’t guess. Get help.
