Earning across platforms often means dealing with VAT rules you never signed up for, from UK registration thresholds to EU digital services tax and overseas sales tax. The result? Confusion, delays, and money left on the table.
We specialize in untangling VAT for influencers and content creators. That means monitoring when you need to register, ensuring the right rates are applied to every payment, and filing on time so you stay compliant and keep more of your earnings.
If your taxable income exceeds the current VAT threshold of £90,000, you are legally required to register for VAT. This includes income from YouTube, TikTok, content subscriptions, and brand collaborations. Even if your income is under the threshold, voluntary VAT registration may offer strategic advantages depending on your business structure.
The EU Digital Services Tax applies to digital content sold or streamed to customers within the EU. If you are a UK-based creator earning income from European subscribers, platforms may handle the tax on your behalf, but it is still your responsibility to report and verify compliance. We help ensure your income meets all international tax requirements.
