I can also confirm the repayment threshold for postgraduate student loans will remain at the current level of £21,000 per year, £1,750 a month or £404 a week for the 2022-23 financial year. The welsh government will continue discussions with uk government to consider the wider issues affecting students and graduates. We remain particularly concerned about the interest charged to students while they study and will continue to raise this issue as a matter of priority.
If you need to send a Self Assessment tax return
Repayments are made through automatic salary deduction at 6% of your income above the following thresholds: £404 p/w or £1,750 p/m (before tax and other deductions). If you are self-employed, hm revenue and customs (hmrc) will calculate how much you must repay based on your annual self-assessment tax return. Interest will be charged from the day of the first payment until the loan is repaid in full or cancelled. The interest rate is retail price index (rpi) + 3%. This is updated in september each year using the rpi from march of that year.
Any outstanding debt will be written off 30 years after the date on which the loan became due for repayment.
