Frequently Asked Questions

Do private tutors need to invoice?

Yes, issuing invoices is professional best practice and helps with your tax records. Even if parents pay in cash, keep a record. You must declare all tutoring income to HMRC if you earn over £1,000 from self-employment.

What should a tutor include on an invoice?

List the subject, level (GCSE, A-Level, etc.), number of sessions, session duration, and rate per session. Include the dates or month covered, your cancellation policy, and any additional charges for materials.

Should I charge VAT as a private tutor?

Private tuition in a subject ordinarily taught in schools or universities is exempt from VAT under UK law, regardless of your turnover. This means most tutors do not charge VAT. However, coaching or mentoring outside this scope may not be exempt.

How do I handle cancellations and no-shows?

State your cancellation policy clearly on your invoice and in your terms. A common policy is 24 hours notice required, or the full session fee is charged. Include any cancellation charges as a separate line item on the invoice.
