Tips

FAQs

Do private tutors need to charge GST?

Only if your annual tutoring income exceeds $75,000. Most private tutors are well below this threshold — no GST line needed.

Do tutors need an ABN?

Yes for invoicing — without an ABN, clients (especially organisations) must withhold 47% PAYG. Sole-trader ABNs are free.

How do I bill term-based packages?

Either weekly (e.g., $70/week for 8 weeks) or upfront (one $560 invoice). Upfront protects against student dropouts mid-term.

What payment terms work for tutoring?

Net 7 to Net 14 for most parents/students. Many tutors require pre-payment for the next session if a previous one is unpaid.

A practical guide to tutoring and lessons billing

Use the template as a starting layout, then replace its example information with the actual agreed work. The details below help you decide what to enter and what to check before sending.

Agree what this invoice covers

Identify the lesson period and whether billing is per session or for a prepaid package. Record lesson length, completed dates and the agreed handling of cancellations. Distinguish session fees from separately approved materials.

Give the payer enough context

Include the booking reference, lesson dates, service period and responsible payer. Check the legal billing name and delivery contact against the accepted work. Keep the booking agreement, attendance record and received-prepayment record available to resolve questions. An invoice records the charge; it does not replace the underlying approval or supporting documents.

Worked tutoring and lessons invoice example

Four completed lessons are billed with agreed materials. If the customer prepaid for these sessions, reconcile the package balance before requesting another payment.

Avoid this billing mistake

Charging both a prepaid package and its individual lessons duplicates the same service. Keep a lesson-usage record and show clearly when an invoice covers a new package.

Follow up on the right record

Confirm whether the learner, parent, guardian or organisation is the payer. Include enough booking detail to match the charge without unnecessarily disclosing personal learning information.

Before you send

  • Match the line items and quantities to the accepted scope and approved changes.
  • Check the invoice number, issue date, explicit due date and the booking reference, lesson dates, service period and responsible payer.
  • Apply only the tax treatment relevant to your business and location; check current local requirements if unsure.
  • Keep earlier billing separate from actual payments. Verify the outstanding amount and payment instructions.
