Self Assessment Software for Teachers

Q: What taxes do self-employed teachers and tutors pay?

Regardless of whether you’re a full-time or part-time tutor, if your earnings exceed your Personal Allowance (£12,500 as of 2020/21), you’re required to pay Income Tax. This includes your National Insurance Contributions and will be determined by the entries on your Self Assessment tax return.

Q: What expenses can I claim as a self-employed teacher or tutor?

Travel to your pupils? You can claim travel expenses. Whether that’s public transport or petrol, both may be eligible for tax relief. You’re also entitled to claim on stationery purchased for the purpose of educating your pupils and running your business. Any lessons at home that contribute to utility bills can additionally be partially claimed back on. Please see our full list of self-employed expenses here.
