I have recently paid off my student loan debt however I still have the STSL component being deducted from my pay each month. How do I use the ATO online services to stop the STSL payments?
When I used the update my employment form of the ATO online service, there is no option for STSL payments.
Your employer makes the deduction, not ATO.
You need to do a new declaration for your employer - don't tick the STSL box.

thanks - ATO website advises this declaration can be completed in the ATO Online Services.
Looking for advice on how to use the ATO Online Services to complete the declaration. I.e., how to 'don't tick the STSL box' in the online form.
