5 SERVICE FEES AND PAYMENT
5.1 You expressly agree that only the Services actually carried out by You will be paid by the IB, regardless of the reasons
why Services initially agreed to were not carried out.
5.2 Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the IB will pay the Service Fees due for any Role assigned to You upon full
completion and submission of the Services to the IB (such as marks, reports, feedback forms and assessment material,
where appropriate).
5.3 If attending an IB authorised event as part of Your Role, the IB will reimburse You for all reasonable expenses incurred
travelling to and when attending the event (as outlined in the Educators expenses and fees policy (DP)/ Educators
expenses and fees policy (MYP), Non-Staff Travel Policy (DP)/ Non-Staff Travel Policy (MYP) or as indicated in a Role-
specific Appendix) such as meals and taxis. You agree to follow the Educators expenses and fees policy (DP)/ Educators

as set out in a Role-specific Appendix. Payment will only be made into a personal individual or joint bank account, of
which You are a named account holder. You must provide the IB details of a bank account meeting this criterion, including
the bank account number, the bank sort code and the bank SWIFT code. Under no circumstances will payments be made
to a third-party account, that is, an account held in the name of a relative, company/organization or other representative,
or in any name other than Your name as provided as the Party to this Agreement.

Kingdom in British Pounds (GBP), (vii) banks in Switzerland in Swiss Francs (CHF), (viii) banks in India in Indian Rupees
(INR). By receiving payment in the currency of a bank account in one of the above countries, examiners are likely to incur
lower bank charges and to receive payment more quickly.
5.6 Payments will only be made when claims total a minimum of 50 US Dollars (USD) or equivalent, except in cases of
termination of contract when the IB will pay any amount outstanding.
5.7 IB Educators living in the UK must accept payment into a UK bank account.
5.8 To ensure prompt payment You agree to provide the IB with bank details meeting clauses 5.4 and 5.5 on appointment as
an IB educator.

tax, and are payable minus any applicable withholding taxes or other levies, imports, duties, charges and fees of any
nature, in those cases where the IB is required by specific governmental, fiscal or other authority to make deduction, now
or hereafter imposed by any governmental, fiscal or other authority. Where tax has been deducted this will be shown
clearly on the payment advice slip.
5.11 The IB reserves the right to provide information to governmental, fiscal or other authority regarding any payments made
to You where required in order for the IB to operate in a country. This can include personal details as required to identify
the recipient of the payment. Full details of tax and reporting requirements are defined in the Educators expenses and
fees policy (DP)/ Educators expenses and fees policy (MYP).
5.12 Where required, You must provide full tax details to the IB in order for the IB to comply with all tax and related regulatory
requirements for the countries where we operate. Full details of tax and reporting requirements are defined in the

as the error has been identified.

soon as the error has been identified and You undertake to repay to the IB the overpaid amount of fees promptly upon
receiving the request for repayment from the IB.
