An Argentine OnlyFans creator says the country’s tax agency has hit her with a bill for money she never saw. According to iProfesional‘s Hernán Gilardo, the creator, who posted anonymously on social media, says ARCA, Argentina’s Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero, notified her of nearly $300,000 in undeclared income under her name for 2022 through 2024.

A $150 million peso bill

With interest and fines added, she says the estimated debt tops 150 million Argentine pesos. “I received a notification informing me of almost $300,000 in my name (which I didn’t receive) in undeclared income between 2022 and 2024,” she wrote, in comments reported by both iProfesional and Ámbito (quotes translated from Spanish).

She also claimed that “ARCA reportedly requested information from OnlyFans in the United Kingdom about the income of Argentine creators.” That part comes from her post, not from the agency.

The agency problem

Her explanation points straight at the management middlemen. “There are a lot of girls in the same situation. We worked with agencies that managed our accounts and kept most of the billing. We received just a tiny percentage or a fixed salary of $1,500 a month,” she said.

The catch is whose name was on everything. “The problem is that the OnlyFans accounts and the payment methods were in our names. Many agencies disappeared and we only have Telegram chats and some receipts to prove it,” she told followers, according to iProfesional. Radio Mitre reported that many of these intermediaries paid creators small fixed sums and then shut down without leaving formal records, which makes it hard to show a tax inspector how much money actually reached the creator.

“They’re charging me taxes on money I never received, and I have no way to pay that debt or fix it,” she said.

It’s a familiar setup. We’ve covered how some OnlyFans managers take up to 70 percent of a creator’s earnings. This case shows the other side of that deal: the creator can end up holding the tax paperwork for income the agency kept.

Foreign money isn’t invisible

Both iProfesional and Ámbito stressed that the old belief that money from abroad goes unnoticed no longer holds. OnlyFans earnings land in bank accounts or services like Payoneer, Wise and Skrill, and Gilardo reports that ARCA stepped up automatic checks on international transfers in 2026.

Under Argentine rules, the outlets explain, OnlyFans work counts as independent self-employed services, not a hobby. Most creators can register under Monotributo, the simplified regime, while bigger earners move to the general regime and pay VAT and income tax separately. Because the money comes from abroad, the income can qualify as an export of services billed with a “Factura E,” which is VAT-exempt.

What isn’t confirmed yet

Diario Panorama added an important caution: the story rests on one anonymous social media account, and it doesn’t on its own confirm how far the notices go or that ARCA is running a broad campaign against Argentine OnlyFans creators. The outlet noted that when the agency spots gaps between declared income and financial records, it can ask for documents, request explanations and set tax adjustments, with interest and penalties depending on the case.

The advice across the coverage was the same. Keep contracts, transfer receipts, commission statements and messages, and get a professional to look at any formal notice before answering it.

The takeaway

If an agency runs your page, the money may flow through them, but the account, the payouts and the tax trail are in your name. Whether or not ARCA’s push turns out to be as wide as this creator fears, her story is a warning for creators everywhere: get every agency deal in writing and keep your own records of what you actually got paid.
