TaxSimba — Private Tutor Tax Returns: Fees, Platforms and Term-Time Records
Preparation worksheet

Optional offline planning aid, not a tax return or filing confirmation.
Keep completed notes securely; never include passwords or one-time codes.

WORK THROUGH THIS EXAMPLE
Keep platform statements, direct lesson fees, cancellations and refunds together, but distinguish any employed teaching role. Gross fees and net platform payouts answer different questions. A full appointment record helps identify cash lessons missing from bank deposits.

DECISION TO RESOLVE
Can lesson income be reconciled across platforms, direct clients and employment?
