The only tax app built for creators. If you earn from it, Oscar tracks it, claims it, and keeps the ATO happy.
SnapClaim Creator handles the chaos of creator finances so your accountant has nothing to complain about.
Built around how creators actually earn: brand deals, platform income, gifts, gear. Whether you're on TikTok, YouTube, Patreon, or Substack.
The ATO has published specific guidance for creators. Most creators have never read it. Oscar has, and he'll tell you what it means for you.
The ATO considers you a business. not a hobbyist. once your activity is regular, organised, and aimed at profit. That means declaring all income, even if it doesn't feel like "real" work.
Cash payments, brand deal fees, affiliate commissions, ad revenue. and the market value of gifted products, free trips, and experiences. If it came from your content activity, it's assessable income.
Once your annual turnover hits $75,000 you must register for GST and lodge BAS statements. This includes non-cash income like gifted products. they count toward your turnover.
From July 2024, digital platforms are required to report creator earnings directly to the ATO. YouTube, TikTok, Patreon. the ATO now sees what you earn before you even lodge.
Overseas platform income (YouTube AdSense paid in USD, Patreon from US subscribers) is still Australian taxable income. It doesn't matter where the platform is based. you're an Australian resident.
"If you are paid in-kind, such as with goods or other benefits. being able to keep an item or outfit used in a post, or being 'gifted' something. you are subject to the same income tax and GST treatment as normal cash payments."
: ATO spokesperson, 2023
Under Division 405 of the Income Tax Assessment Act, the ATO officially classifies content creators and social media influencers as "special professionals". the same category as authors, performers, and inventors. This unlocks Income Averaging: a tax concession that smooths your taxable income across 4 years so you're not hammered in a big year.
