A friend sent this to me, and I couldn’t help but laugh—though I was a bit saddened, but probably not for the reason you’d think. We’ve all acknowledged that what providers do is, at its core, a business transaction. Emphasizing the “business” in that statement. Along with business comes several other aspects, but the one that often remains hidden is taxes.
A provider in Canada recently shared an experience where a client, who was initially excited to see her, was ready to send everything, including the deposit via gift card, followed by the full rate when they met. However, when the provider mentioned the total rate after the deposit, including the tax, the client immediately lost interest and canceled the session.
Given that the provider had clearly stated that she charges GST (Goods and Services Tax) alongside all her rates, her frustration was understandable. Her time was wasted simply because the client didn’t want to pay a tax to see his provider. What stood out to me was how the provider justified the tax.
For those unfamiliar, GST is essentially a tax on goods sold domestically within a country. Only a legitimate business can add GST, giving them the authority to implement a tax on their goods or services. I didn’t realize providers could apply this in any country, but I suppose it makes sense—if the government can tax OnlyFans models, then why not providers?
The provider defended her decision to charge GST by emphasizing that she runs a business. Despite this, the client still couldn’t take her seriously, which is confusing to me. The provider made a valid point when she said, "You pay tax at every other business." This is true—many of us pay taxes on almost everything, yet for some reason, this client couldn’t accept paying tax to his provider. I’d really like to understand why that is.
In the U.S., we have state sales tax, which is somewhat similar to GST but with its own nuances. Personally, I wouldn’t have an issue paying a tax to see my provider. Honestly, with some of the rates out there, I figure I’m already doing that—it’s just not on paper. However, openly charging that tax could bring to light something we all already know: that what providers do is a business, with all the uncertainties that come with it. Clients have the right to voice their opinions on that business, whether positive or negative, but providers don’t always see it that way—at least not until it suits them.
I’m not sure what the deal was with this particular client, but in my opinion, the provider was within her rights to charge the tax, especially with the government backing her up.
