Reminder for Self-Assessment Tax Returns: Include Your Student Loans
As we approach the self-assessment tax return deadline, we want to remind you of an important detail that can often be overlooked: your student loans.
If you have a student loan, it is crucial to include this information in your tax return to ensure accurate calculations and avoid any potential issues with HMRC.
When you file your self-assessment tax return, HMRC needs to know if you have a student loan so they can calculate the correct amount of repayment.
If we don’t include this, your tax liability might be understated.
What you need to do:
Check your loan type: Determine whether you are on Plan 1, Plan 2, Plan 4, or the Postgraduate Loan plan. Each plan has different repayment thresholds and interest rates. In Scotland if you have taken the loan out after 1 September 1998 then you will be on plan 4.
Include your loan details: Make sure to provide accurate information about your student loan on your self-assessment tax return. This includes the type of loan and the amount you have repaid during the tax year.
