Discounts on upfront and voluntary contributions
|
 |
|
For payments made under the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS):
From: 1 January 2017
> the discounts available to students electing to pay their student contribution up-front (10%) and make voluntary payments (5%) was scrapped.
From: 1 January 2012
> the discount available to students electing to pay their student contribution up-front has been reduced from 20% to 10%, and
> the bonus on voluntary payments of $500 or more has been reduced from 10% to 5% (prior to 1/1/2005 it was 20%).
|
| |
|
Delayed Repayment
|
 |
|
First and second half-year debts incurred in the current year don't become due for repayment until the end of the following year.
Therefore the Tax Portal may show a HELP debt owing at 30 June, but there will not necessarily be a repayment taken by the ATO when the current year's tax return is assessed.
|
| |
|
HELP/HECS/SFSS Indexation Rates
|
 |
|
On 1 June each year indexation is applied to the part of accumulated HELP/HECS/SFSS debts which have remained unpaid for 11 months or more.
NB! To avoid indexation for HELP and HECS, ensure that you make any voluntary repayments well before 1 June so that the ATO has time to process the payment and credit it to your account before 1 June.
Indexation maintains the real value of the debt by adjusting it in line with changes in the cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The indexation figure is calculated each year after the March CPI is released. It is based on financial figures collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics over the previous 2 years.
