Do I pay tax on Patreon income in the UK?

Yes. Money from Patreon memberships is trading income — once it exceeds the £1,000 trading allowance you must register for Self Assessment and pay Income Tax and Class 4 National Insurance on the profit.

Is my Patreon income still taxable if Patreon is a US company?

Yes. UK-resident creators declare worldwide self-employment income to HMRC regardless of where the platform is based. Convert payouts to GBP using a consistent exchange rate for your records.
