A woman who works in the adult industry said she's sick of people saying she doesn't have a real job.

In fact, she doesn't think she should have to pay taxes as she works so hard. Billie Beever, who won Best Female Porn Star at this year’s Australian Adult Industry Choice Awards, claims she gets a lot of online abuse – as many people say her line of work is unprofessional.

Billie, who is known as Australia's "best" adult entertainer, has now hit back at those who say her X-rated profession isn’t a "real" job. She said, if this really is the case, then people like her shouldn't have to pay tax.

The single mother recently spoke to news.com.au and said the cheeky work she does to satisfy her subscribers is like "charity work".

The star has hit back at the critics who say her career is "unprofessional"

She said: "I’m constantly being told what I do isn’t a real job and [that] I ‘need to get a real job’, so if that’s what the general public think, then why should us OnlyFans creators and sex workers be paying 10 times more tax than they all are with their regular jobs?

"Getting told this isn’t a real job frustrates the living hell out of me. They don’t realise it’s real money, real time, real marketing, real bills. So much more goes into this than ‘making a move’ – that’s honestly 10% of the work behind it."

She went onto state that if she doesn't have a "real job" then why should she have to pay "real taxes"?

"Now people want to say, ‘You should pay tax like every other person who has a job in Australia’ … it’s like, hold on a minute, didn’t you say I don’t have a real job?" she added. "The public are now contradicting themselves."

Billie backed up her claims by posting a couple of tongue-in-cheek Instagram stories on Monday.

In the post, she said: "I do believe that we shouldn’t have to pay tax because you guys all say, ‘well OnlyFans isn’t a real job, you should get a real job’. It’s like, so what do I pay my taxes with, Monopoly money? My charity work will continue."

The saucy star, who now has 186,000 followers on Instagram, spoke out about the matter after a representative for the ATO broke down what adult entertainers are entitled to claim at tax time.

The comment, which was made on the ATO Community board, read: "It’s a new industry and one we’re watching to better understand, but the way we see tax deductions remains the same. We see OnlyFans creators as businesses with operating expenses and deductions."

It was previously reported that one woman had to pay over £100,000 in tax after earning a fortune making content for saucy subscription-based sites. Tasha Paige said she was devastated when she was handed the bill, as she didn't feel her job was taken seriously by the government.

In a viral TikTok video last month, she said: "My tax bill is actually $150,000 for the last 12 months … not including the $26,000 I need to pay on top of that for GST because apparently my body is an object – that’s why I have to pay GST.

"The fact that that money is going to a government that doesn’t even recognise sex work as real work. My accountant has cross-checked everything."
