Onlyfans Star Slapped With £30K Tax Bill As Hmrc Targets High-Earning Celebs on OnlyLikeFans

Taxman Comes Knocking for OnlyFans Millionaires

OnlyFans has been a goldmine for creators, with some celebs raking in jaw-dropping sums for exclusive content. But now, the UK’s tax authority, HMRC, is stepping in to ensure these digital moguls are paying their fair share. An investigation into high-earning stars on the adult content platform has already resulted in one unnamed creator forking over more than £20,000 after their tax records were flagged.

According to sources speaking to The Sun, HMRC isn’t messing around. They’ve reportedly reached out directly to OnlyFans to get the scoop on top earners’ incomes, spurred by public boasts about their massive paychecks. It’s a wake-up call for influencers and celebs who may not have been fully transparent about their earnings - until the taxman came calling.

“These creators are making staggering amounts, and HMRC isn’t blind to the flexing on social media - they’re making sure every penny is accounted for,” a source close to the investigation revealed.

Megan Barton-Hanson: From Love Island to OnlyFans Queen

Among the platform’s biggest names is Megan Barton-Hanson, a 31-year-old reality star who shot to fame on Love Island. Since joining OnlyFans in 2020, she’s reportedly been banking a cool £800,000 a month, using the platform to fund major life upgrades. Megan has openly celebrated her success, telling The Sun she’s proud of how the site helped her buy her dream home and deck it out with new furniture.

While there’s no indication that Megan is directly involved in the HMRC probe, her massive earnings highlight why the tax authority is zooming in on OnlyFans stars. Normal tax rules apply to income from the platform, meaning creators must self-declare their earnings - a step not everyone seems to have taken seriously until now.

Other Celebs Cashing In - But Are They in the Clear?

OnlyFans isn’t just Megan’s playground - other British stars are also boosting their bank accounts through the site. Strictly Come Dancing contestant and celebrity baker John Whaite, along with model Lottie Moss, have jumped on the bandwagon to supplement their incomes. Like Megan, there’s no suggestion that either John or Lottie is part of HMRC’s current investigation.

HMRC, for their part, is keeping things diplomatic. “We take a variety of approaches to ensure all taxpayers are aware of their tax obligations, and pay what they owe,” a spokesperson told The Sun. It’s a polite but firm reminder that no amount of online clout can outrun the taxman.
