Selling feet pics might sound like easy, tax-free cash—but guess what? The ATO doesn’t care where your income comes from; if you’re making money, you need to declare it!
If you’re raking in cash from platforms like FeetFinder, OnlyFans, or private buyers, you need to include that income in your tax return—or risk a hefty fine from the ATO.
Yes! Any money you earn from selling content—whether it’s pictures, videos, or exclusive subscriptions—is taxable income. The ATO doesn’t make exceptions just because your income comes from an unconventional source.
It doesn’t matter if:
✅ You’re doing it as a side hustle or full-time
✅ You get paid in cash, PayPal, or crypto
✅ You have regular customers or one-off buyers
If you’re making money, you must report it in your tax return.
💡 Example: If you make $40,000 selling feet pics, it’s the same as earning that amount in a regular job—you need to pay tax on it.
Think you can get away with not reporting it? Think again.
🚨 The ATO has sophisticated tracking systems that detect undeclared income. They can check:
✔ Your bank transfers and PayPal transactions
✔ Income reported from FeetFinder or OnlyFans
✔ Any ABN or business activity linked to your name
And if you get caught? Expect:
⚠️ Fines, interest, and penalties on unpaid tax
⚠️ A full ATO audit of your finances
⚠️ The stress of having to back-pay tax plus extra charges
Not worth the risk.
It depends. If you’re selling regularly and treating it as a business, you may need to register an ABN and potentially pay GST if your earnings exceed $75,000 per year.
Signs you’re running a business:
✔ You sell feet pics consistently
✔ You market your services (e.g., on social media)
✔ You have repeat customers or a subscription model
💡 Tip: If you’re unsure whether you need an ABN, we can help you figure it out.
Good news! You can reduce your taxable income by claiming legitimate business expenses. If your foot photography is an income-generating activity, you might be able to deduct:
📷 Camera & Lighting – Ring lights, cameras, tripods
📱 Phone & Internet – If used for managing your sales or content creation
💻 Software & Editing Apps – Photoshop, Canva, or subscription-based editing tools
👣 Self-Care & Maintenance – Pedicures, nail polish, foot creams (if used solely for content creation)
🏡 Home Office Costs – A portion of your rent or electricity (if you work from home)
💡 Important: You can only claim deductions for items directly related to your business. If you get a pedicure just because you love the look, it’s not deductible.
Your influencer or content-creator income is taxed at individual tax rates. Here’s a breakdown:
| Taxable Income | Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $18,200 | 0% (Tax-free threshold) |
| $18,201 – $45,000 | 16c% for each $1 over $18,200 |
| $45,001 – $135,000 | $4288 + 30c for each $1 over $45,000 |
| $135,001 – $190,000 | $31288 + 37c for each $1 over $135,000 |
| $190,001+ | $51,638 + 45c for each $1 over $190,000 |
💡The above rates do not include Medicare Levy of 2%
