Hi all,
I just had a quick question. I’ve recently started earning above the STSL repayment threshold, so I completed a new TFN declaration form and ticked “Yes” for question 10 regarding having a study or training support loan and sent it to my employer.
I’ve noticed that my recent pays seem a bit lighter compared to previous weeks, but I can’t see any clear breakdown or adjustment on my payslip to explain the difference. I followed up with payroll and they said they’ll look into it, but I also contacted the ATO and received a message saying I should see additional amounts withheld on my payslip marked as “STSL.”
Is this correct? I thought repayments for study loans were calculated and applied at tax time, not deducted directly from each pay. Should I expect to see a separate line item on my payslip showing the STSL amount, or is it just included in the total tax withheld?
Thanks in advance
