Quick FAQs
Q: Do I need to be Ofsted registered for tax?
A: Tax and Ofsted registration are separate. We handle accounts and HMRC; you remain responsible for any education/safeguarding regulation.
Q: Are part-time tutors employees or self-employed?
A: Many centres use a mix. We’ll discuss status (PAYE vs self-employed) and show you how to record payments correctly.
Q: Can I claim for snacks and refreshments for students?
A: Modest refreshments can usually be treated as a business cost where they are part of your service offering. We’ll code these correctly.
