What to put on a tutor invoice
Common lines on a tutor's invoice include:
- Tutoring — sessions or hours × rate
- Group session rate
- Materials or workbooks
- Travel to the student's home
- Online session
- Prepaid lesson block
Plus the essentials every Australian invoice needs: your business name and ABN, the client's details, a unique invoice number and dates, the total (with 10% GST if you're registered), and your payment details. See how to write an invoice and the tax invoice requirements.
A tip for tutors
Selling lesson blocks (e.g. 10 sessions prepaid) smooths your income — invoice the block up front and note the sessions covered. Most tutors stay under the $75,000 GST threshold, so a plain invoice with no GST is usually fine.
GST and your ABN
You must register for GST once your turnover hits $75,000 a year — then you charge 10% GST and issue a Tax Invoice. Under that, GST is optional and you issue a plain invoice. Either way, always quote your ABN. More: the $75,000 GST threshold and do I need an ABN to invoice.
