Your Canadian OnlyFans Accountant.

Two things decide it. You must register once gross business revenue passes $30,000 in a single quarter or over four consecutive quarters — and salary from a regular job does not count toward that number, which is why plenty of creators register years earlier than they had to. Then it depends on where your subscribers are: sales to subscribers outside Canada are generally zero-rated, meaning taxable at 0% — so no HST is collected on them, but they still count toward that $30,000 threshold and you can still claim input tax credits on the expenses behind them. Getting the second part wrong is what produced a $60,000 CRA assessment for one client that we reduced to $6,000.

Sometimes. It lowers the tax rate on income you leave in the business and puts a layer between you and the company, which some creators want for reasons that have nothing to do with tax. It also adds cost, filings and complexity, and it is the wrong move if you need every dollar you earn to live on. We will model both before you decide.

Cameras, lighting, phones and computers. Wardrobe, props and set costs used for content. Platform and processing fees, editing software and subscriptions, promotion and agency fees, a reasonable share of home costs if you shoot at home, and our fees. The limits matter as much as the list — personal-use portions come out, some items are capitalized rather than expensed, and home office claims have their own rules. We will tell you where the line is rather than let you find it during an audit.

The Voluntary Disclosures Program exists for exactly this, and it works far better before the CRA contacts you than after. Assume your income is visible — payouts arrive through traceable channels and the CRA has been paying steadily more attention to platform earnings. Creators get into trouble when there is a gap between what the bank shows and what the return says. Come to us first and privately.
