PRACTICE PRIVATE EDUCATION AS A HOME TEACHER
There are many reasons why you can give private lessons at home. First of all, a private teacher generally has the real desire to transmit his knowledge and to participate in the academic, professional or personal success of his pupil. Tutoring is also a great way to make ends meet and use your pedagogy to supplement your income.
Some also choose to give lessons to discover the teaching profession and know if they have the methodology necessary to make their students’ progress in the long term. You are an educator, passionate about your specialty (philosophy, mathematics or even the guitar) and you want to give lessons at home. So you have to think about choosing under what status you will teach. You could very well consider giving black lessons: no charges, no taxes, and this can indeed make your dream.
According to the Cons globe site, 80% of home tutoring courses are dispensed in this way. However, the risks involved quickly disillusioned: up to three years’ imprisonment and a fine of 45,000 euros. And don’t forget that in the event of a dispute, accident or damage, you have no recourse! Since you want to work calmly, you are wondering how you will be declared.
You have thought of the status of a particular teacher in self-employment, but you do not know if it is possible, or how to become one. Be a freelance teacher Are you tempted to? From the advantages of this self-employed status to the steps to get started, Super prof tells you everything! Self-employed: the ideal status for private lessons? The self-employed status was created in 2008. And that made many people want to start entrepreneurship! To date, more than a million French people have opted for this tax system according to the Legal start website.
Affiliated to the micro-enterprise, a natural person who decides to become a self-entrepreneur creates a sole proprietorship. He then benefits from a simplified social, tax and accounting system. The advantages of choosing a good tuition agency are numerous. Choosing to become a home teacher has many personal benefits. It is indeed very gratifying to participate in the upgrading of a student, to be for him a real educational adviser and to observe his improvement thanks to your lessons. Being a freelance teacher (or self-employed) has many other benefits: You are your own boss and can choose your students and the frequency of your lessons yourself. You set the price for your lesson hours yourself.
Your status can represent a significant advantage for parents because some works councils subsidize home lessons if they are given by an approved structure. You can complete your home teacher activity by giving lessons to students in small groups in an educational center and bill your services. You pay your contributions according to your turnover, if you don’t touch anything, you don’t pay anything.
You benefit from your pension rights and social protection via the SSI you can opt for the withholding tax from income tax. Also, be aware that it is quite possible for you to combine this status with a salaried activity if your schedule allows. However, if you are a professor of National Education, you must first apply to your academy before you can become an individual entrepreneur. You are then automatically affiliated with Bursar, SSI, and CIPAV (the pension fund for a liberal activity). To find students even more easily, we advise you to apply for accreditation. This will allow them to benefit from a tax reduction of up to 50%.
The students then have to place the amount paid to the teacher in the box “employee at home” of the tax return. Students must also keep the invoices in order to justify the recruitment of a home teacher. This is a significant argument for your students and their parents. Declare your income as a private tutor
When declaring your start of business, you must choose to declare your income every month or every quarter. There is no difference in choosing one formula over the other; it only depends on your organization and your preferences. Every month, or every quarter, you will, therefore, have to declare what you have earned through your private lessons at home.
The process is simplified and you can make your monthly or quarterly payment on the site of the auto-entrepreneur. After you have entered your turnover in the “declare and pay” section, the amount of your contributions is automatically calculated. You just have to pay with your credit card: that’s it! The social security contribution rate for the liberal professions in 2016 is 22.9% unless you have obtained ACCRE. The line to take into account is the following (Liberal Profession under the social regime of the self-employed).
Indeed, many people starting the activity of home teachers hesitate with the commercial profile. But, although you sell a service, a professor does not sell goods but a service. It is for this reason that the activity of the professor is registered in the liberal professions.
