EOTAS/Personal Budget —- Tutors and how to pay them

Looks like we are getting EOTAS for 15yo. Have set up separate bank account. But delicate question: we currently pay some tutors by bank transfer but some like cash. I suspect the £35ph tutor who takes cash will no longer want to work for us if we pay £35 via bank transfer. Either we will need to gross up his rate to £55 or find a new tutor. Due to SEN, the latter is not an option. (I also wonder if some don’t like bank transfer not just because of tax implications but because they are school teachers whose contracts don’t allow outside work.)

My own values are we should all contribute to the tax base but I know these people all do contribute to the tax base as they are full time teachers as well on PAYE.

How do you handle this delicate situation? I am guessing the obvious is: have them bill at the grossed up rate??

If the tutor is wanting cash because they aren’t declaring the income there won’t be a way around it. He either doesn’t tutor or charges the going rate that accounts for expenses.

If the tutor wants cash for other reasons and is willing to provide an invoice that should be OK.

As long as the tutor isn’t tutoring during their directed time the fact they are a full time teacher shouldn’t be an issue.
