The tax debt of Ukrainian citizens who received income from posting content on the OnlyFans platform in 2020–2022 amounts to UAH 384.7 million as of September 1, 2025. This was reported by the State Tax Service in response to a journalist’s request, as reported by Ekonomichna Pravda; the information has also been confirmed by a number of Ukrainian media outlets.
The tax service clarified that this refers specifically to the tax debt of individuals on income from the service owner Fenix International Ltd for the period 2020-2022; data for 2023 has been received recently and is currently being processed.
It should be noted that the State Tax Service treats the income of Ukrainian residents from OnlyFans as foreign income subject to taxation in Ukraine (income tax and military tax; some authors work as sole proprietors). At the same time, the platform itself pays VAT in Ukraine on electronic services (the so-called “Google tax”): in 2023, the amount of such VAT exceeded $928,000.
Previously, the media raised the issue of conflicts between criminal law provisions on pornographic content and the need for authors to declare their income, but the fiscal authority’s position on the taxation of such income remains unchanged.
