Hi, I have only just realised that I have been paying a HECS loan when I paid this loan off in 2017. I know I can get back the extra amount I have paid in this financial year but does anyone know how i woul get back all the extra repayments I have been doing since 2017? THanks for your help!
Hi @NETTSAN,
Any overpaid amount for previous financial years would've been refunded after lodgement of your tax return. When you lodge your return we calculate any required repayments.
We then refund any amounts not required. You can give your employer a withholding declaration to stop HECS amounts being withheld.
Hope this helps.
