CSLM20035 | SL repayments: underpayments and overpayments: borrower fails to settle loan liability - SA case

If the borrower falls within Self Assessment then they will be responsible for self assessing in respect of Student and or Postgraduate Loan repayments, along with tax and NICs. If the borrower is also within PAYE, credit will be given for deductions made by the employer.

Any liability within SA will be included in the balancing payment, due on 31 January following the end of the tax year to which the repayments relate. Payments on account will not include any liability to Student and or Postgraduate Loans repayments.

If a borrower fails to pay outstanding Student and or Postgraduate Loans repayments or is late in making payment they may be liable to pay surcharges, interest on overdue payments and penalties inline with those that apply to the payment of tax.
