Woman sold porn without paying tax - sentenced to prison

The woman has had social media as her primary income for several years. On Snapchat, she has made regular updates about her life in front of her 50,000 followers and on Tiktok, the woman has 500,000 likes.

In the years 2020–2021, the woman brought in 1.66 million kroner when she sold self-produced pornographic material on Onlyfans and Myfans. For users, access to her 300 posts cost just under SEK 200 a month on Onlyfans.

But the woman did not pay taxes for her income, which was revealed when the companies behind Onlyfans and Myfans sent control data to the Swedish Tax Agency in connection with an audit.

The woman instead declared SEK 168,157 as total income during the two years.

According to Sydsvenskan, the woman has claimed in court that she thought she was employed by the platforms and that her tax and social security payments were handled through them because the platforms kept 20 percent of her earnings according to the agreement she concluded with them.

However, the district court did not buy the woman's explanation, but considers that it should have been clear to her that this was not the case, as she lacked both an employment contract and a manager. In addition, the woman herself had to choose a price to access the content of her profile.

The woman should actually have had to pay over 600,000 kroner in taxes for her income, the newspaper reports.

But the woman is also convicted of a number of other crimes, including two cases of gross defamation of an ex-partner and one case of money laundering.

The woman is now sentenced to eight months in prison for the crimes for which she is convicted. In addition, she receives a corporate fine of SEK 200,000 and is ordered to pay SEK 453,000 in tax surcharges and SEK 30,000 in damages to her ex-partner.
