KYIV — Content creators in Ukraine owe the equivalent of $9.3 million in back taxes, according to the country’s State Tax Service.

As first reported on the Ukrainian news site Economic Truth, the tax debt of 384.7 million Ukrainian hryvnia stems from income earned in Ukraine from content posted on OnlyFans from 2020 to 2022. 

“The total amount of tax debt that arose for individual residents of Ukraine due to nonpayment of taxes on income received from Fenix International Ltd. (the company that owns the OnlyFans platform) during 2020-2022 is UAH 384.7 million,” the report reads.

The Economic Truth report adds, “The OnlyFans platform is used primarily for posting and monetizing pornographic content, the production and distribution of which is considered a criminal offense in Ukraine. According to Article 301 of the Criminal Code, liability for such activity can reach up to seven years in prison.”

In July, XBIZ reported on efforts to decriminalize pornography in Ukraine, after President Volodymyr Zelensky responded to a petition by OnlyFans users to support draft law No. 12191, titled “On Amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine to Improve Certain Provisions on Criminal Offenses Against Public Order and Morality.”

In his statement, Zelensky did not reveal his position on the issue. Instead, he pointed out that the Verkhovna Rada — Ukraine’s parliament — was considering the bill, and that his role as president will only come into play should the Verkhovna Rada adopt the law.

STOCKHOLM — The European Patent Office (EPO) Board of Appeals last week ruled in favor of pleasure brand LELO in the company’s ongoing dispute with Satisfyer parent company EIS GmbH.

The decision revokes EIS’s patent for its “Pressure Waves Massage Apparatus” (Patent “EP ‘297”) and allows European retailers and distributors to sell LELO’s Sona, Sila, and Enigma lines of air suction pleasure products.

“The Board of Appeals determined that EP ‘297 is not valid and has been revoked. This decision is final and non-appealable,” LELO said in a statement.

“This decision confirms what LELO believed all along — its innovative designs and technologies are distinct and original, upholding the brand’s reputation for pioneering excellence in the intimate wellness industry,” the rep added.

As reported by XBIZ in March, a Swedish district court originally ruled that the patent filed by EIS was not valid. That decision was appealed by EIS, leading to last week’s decision.

This followed a ruling in a German court last August upholding the patent and ordering LELO to cease distributing the three product lines within that court’s jurisdiction.

Reached for comment, a spokesperson for Satisfyer declined to comment on the matter at this time.

XBIZ will update this story as more information becomes available.
