Taxes and etcetera patreon payouts

Hi everyone!

I’m based in Europe (not sure how many of you are too), and I was wondering how others here handle taxes related to Patreon income. I know Patreon collects VAT from supporters, but when it comes to reporting income or managing payouts, it gets a bit fuzzy for me.

A few things I’m trying to figure out:

Do you register your Patreon income as business/self-employed income in your country?

Do you invoice Patreon or treat it more like platform revenue?

How do you handle currency conversion and transaction fees in your tax records?

Any insights on how VAT affects your end of the transaction (or if it does at all)?

Any tools or templates you’d recommend for keeping track?

Would love to hear how other creators in Europe manage it – especially if you’re in Denmark, Sweden, Germany or nearby. 🙏

Thanks in advance!
