Expert Accounting for Content Creators

Content creation isn't just a hobby it’s a business. At Dolman Bateman, we understand that OnlyFans, Fansly, and influencers are legitimate business entities with unique financial needs. You deal with platform fees, currency conversions, and complex expenses. You deserve an accountant who treats your business with the respect and the privacy it deserves.

Stop guessing what you can claim. Here is your guide to maximising your tax return while staying 100% compliant with the ATO.

The Golden Rule of Deductions

Before we list the items, remember the ATO's golden rule for business expenses:

You must have spent the money yourself and not been reimbursed.
It must be directly related to earning your income.
You must have a record to prove it.

Note: If an expense is for both private and business use (like your phone), you can only claim the business portion.

What can you claim?

1. Production Equipment & Tech

2. Props, Costumes & Staging

3. Travel & Collaborations

4. Home Office & Occupancy

Note: Every business is unique. We can review your specific deductions to see where you stand within current case law

The "Grey Areas": Beauty, Gym & Surgery

Many creators assume all beauty maintenance is deductible.

The ATO is strict here.

Hair & Makeup: Generally not deductible as it is considered a "private expense," unless it is stage makeup that cannot be worn in public.
Gym Memberships: Generally not deductible, even for models, unless your job requires an "extraordinary" level of physical fitness well above the norm (e.g., professional athletes).
Cosmetic Surgery: This is rarely deductible in Australia. The ATO views this as a private expense.

However: Every business is unique. We can review your specific situation to see where you stand within current case law.
