i got my letter the other day asking to switch to direct debit.
Surely paying this back on a DD means its come out after tax, which means I lose money in the long run? If its paid back via in the normal way (i.e straight out of paycheck) then I wont lose the income tax. or can the tax be claimed back. I'd rather over pay it then claim the money back than switch to DD and pay 40% tax on the extra money i would have in my take home!
this seems like a lazy SLC and HRMC trying to get rid of admin at the cost of the student again!0 -

Student loan repayments are calculated based on gross salary, but paid from net. There are no "tax advantages" to paying via PAYE compared to DD.0
