Fanvue is the merchant‑of‑record for every transaction. We calculate the correct VAT (or local sales tax) at checkout based on your registered country at checkout (and other evidence, such as your payment‑card BIN, IP address, and browser data).
The final amount shown on the payment screen already includes any tax, so there are no surprises. Fanvue collects the tax and remits it through the UK VAT return or the EU One‑Stop Shop (OSS) where required.
Your favourite creator receives the price net of VAT, so their VAT registration status never changes the tax you pay.
Example
Price set by creator: $10.00
Transaction fee: $0.20
UK standard VAT (20%) applied at checkout: $2.04
Total you pay: $12.04
Fanvue platform fee: $2.00
Creator receives: $8.00
