student loan direct debit repayments ? tax back

As im in the final year of paying off my student loan ive arranged with slc to make my repayments by direct debit so as to avoid overpayment through PAYE. What I cant figure out is whether I was paying tax on the repayment amount when repaying through my wage slip. If not can I include my student direct debit repayments in my personal allowance as they are overlooked now that they are not incorporated into my payslip

    Student loan repayments made through PAYE come off after tax and national insurance deductions have been made so you're not losing out by paying through direct debit.
