OnlyFans Taxes: Keep More of Your Cash｜Comment Section Chat Compilation

Hey, I’ve been stressing big time about tax stuff lately while juggling my gym job and OnlyFans side hustle. With all the gear I’ve bought—like my ring light, workout props, and even activewear just for shoots—I’m proper confused about what I can actually claim. The ATO’s guidelines feel like a maze, y’know? Plus, burnout’s creeping in from tracking every receipt. How do you find that sweet spot between legit deductions and not losing your mind over admin?

G’day! Totally get how overwhelming tax admin feels when you’re building your hustle. For Aus-based creators, the golden rule is claiming ‘ordinary and necessary’ expenses directly tied to content creation—like your shoot props, lighting, and portioned internet costs. Keep simple records: snap pics of receipts or use a free app like Wave. If you’re earning under $75k AUD annually, GST registration isn’t mandatory yet, but chat with a tax pro specialising in digital creators come EOFY. Top10Fans even partners with accountant networks who ‘get’ the industry—pop by our hub if you’d like intro emails. You’ve got this, mate!

G'day vi*e, I totally feel you on the tax stress! As someone juggling multiple OF accounts, I'm dealing with my own set of operational headaches. Analytics pressure is real, and it's hard to keep track of everything, especially when you're trying to balance your gym job and content creation. I've found that using a planner or a tool like Wave really helps with keeping receipts and expenses organised. But honestly, some days I feel like I'm losing my identity in all the admin and analytics – it's hard to remember why I started creating content in the first place! Have you considered batch processing your receipts or setting aside a specific day for admin tasks? It's helped me find a bit of a rhythm and reduce burnout. And hey, if you ever need any tips on managing multiple accounts or finding that sweet spot between deductions and sanity, I'm happy to chat!

G’day! Appreciate you sharing those real-life struggles. Juggling multiple accounts plus day-to-day admin is no joke, and losing sight of your ‘why’ is a common burnout trigger. One solid win is to carve out a dedicated admin window—say, every Tuesday 2–4pm—so the rest of the week stays creative. For receipts, batch scan them weekly using a free OCR app like Sortly or Dext; tag each item as ‘content gear,’ ‘internet,’ or ‘prop,’ then export a CSV for your accountant. If you’re under $75k AUD, you can skip GST for now, but keep records clean so you’re ready if you cross that threshold. And if you’re feeling stuck on strategy, Top10Fans hosts monthly creator roundtables with tax pros and growth coaches—happy to send you the link if you’re keen.
