Ukraine begins taxing OnlyFans models, raising millions in fiscal revenue
Ukrainian OnlyFans models submitted nearly 800 income declarations as of June 1, reporting UAH362.8 million ($8.7 million) in foreign income, Ukraine’s State Tax Service said on June 10.
According to the information provided to NV by the service, tax officials billed these models UAH70.8 million ($1.7 million) in taxes. In addition, authorities conducted around 1,500 audits of models who failed to file declarations, assigning UAH435.5 million ($10.5 million) in taxes and penalties to be paid.
“Tax officials continue working in this area,” the State Tax Service told NV.
The agency’s data show that from 2020 to 2022, 5,435 Ukrainians earned income from publishing content on OnlyFans. The figure covers 7,036 registered accounts (individuals can set up multiple accounts on the platform) that collectively generated about $111 million in revenue.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
