Yes - webcam models in the UK are classed as self-employed. That might sound intimidating at first, but in reality, it’s very manageable and comes with freedom and independence.

Registering with HMRC allows you to declare your earnings, keep things legal, and treat your webcam work like the business it is. Many models find the process far simpler than expected, especially with guidance.

You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to:

• Register once
• Keep a basic record of earnings
• Complete a yearly self-assessment



ShyGirl helps demystify the process and points you in the right direction so you never feel overwhelmed.

Being self-employed doesn’t mean being alone - especially not here.
