CSLM11012 – FAQs: borrowers questions and answers: should I tell my employer to start deducting?

Suggested answer

Your employer will normally start making deductions when instructed to do so by HMRC. However, if you start employment and you do not have a form P45, you will complete a form P46. If box D applies to you, you should tick it and your employer will start to making deductions on your next pay-day.

HMRC action

If the taxpayer has been in employment for some time, check that we have details of the employment on our PAYE system. If not, make arrangements to set up the details. If the employment is on our PAYE system, telephone East Kilbride Student Loans Unit, they can check whether a Start notice has been issued and take action as appropriate.

Note: If the borrower requires further information he / she should be asked to contact the Student Loans Company on 0870 2406298.
