As a tutor, how do I invoice for my work?
Invoices must be sent no later than the 4th of each month for the previous month's work. They will be paid on 20th of each month.
Because you are working as self-employed (and must declare yourself as such with HMRC), we must receive an invoice in order to pay you.
We have an easy to use online invoicing system for tutors. It's as if you were sending us a paper invoice, but you're just doing it through our site.
You can only invoice us for tutorials that you have given, and not for future tutorials. Once some tutorials have been given and you wish to be paid, follow the steps below.
- Log in to your account
- Click Invoices
- Click New Invoice
- Enter a unique number (this is for your records and should be unique i.e. you should not have invoiced anyone else with the number)
- Check the amount and correct it if you believe it to be incorrect
- Check and correct the description if necessary
- Check and correct the sender trading name and sender trading address
- Ensure that the tutorials for which you wish to invoice are ticked
- Press Submit
To save you entering your address each time you invoice us, go to "Edit your details" after logging in. From here you can enter your preferred Name and Address as you wish it to appear on your invoices.
The invoice number is for your records. Each time you invoice a person or company such as us, you must provide them with a unique invoice number.
If this is the first invoice you have ever sent, you can just put '1' in the invoice number box.
When you have been paid, you should receive a Remittance Advice sent to your registered email address.
Business Link have a page listing the information that invoices must contain. Our system takes care of most of this for you.
