Note on the payment systems choices:
("Pupil" may mean the pupil, its parent or both.)
Opt-in: Your Pupils pay their single lessons to an SMB bank account specially created for you. This enables you to benefit from SMB's educational-sector VAT exemption.
An SMB bank account will be set up for your benefit only, over which you and SMB's secretariat will both have powers. Each Term, the price set by you for a Pupil's single lessons single lessons will be paid by the Pupil to that account. You will then be able to make payments from that account to yourself. The secretariat will use its powers over the account only for SMB accounting purposes and/or to verify the legitimacy of outgoing payments.
The account may not be used to effect any payment to a third party*.
Your professional relationship to SMB being that of an independent service provider, you remain responsible for the payment of all taxes due, other than VAT.
*However, if you are the sole SMB teacher for your instrument, the account may serve also as the instrument section's account and purchases relevant to that function may be paid from the account. In that case, each purchase's receipt or invoice will need to be uploaded to the current year's expenses documents folder in SMB's online Office 365 system.
Opt-out: Single lessons are paid by all your Pupils directly to you. You remain liable for all taxes due, including VAT.
