When to stop taking deductions

There are different ways you're notified to stop making student loan deductions:

  • HMRC sends you a form SL2 Stop Notification
  • If you need to stop making deductions quickly, HMRC may request you to stop by phone or letter

How to stop the deduction

To stop a student loan deducting, remove the deduction from the employee in the pay run.

This won't delete the student loan from the payroll system. It just removes it from the selected employee.

The deduction hasn't stopped or taken in error

You’ll need to edit the previous pay run and remove the deduction. The FPS will include these changes to inform HMRC.

You can repay the student loan taken in error through payroll.

For more information, read Make changes to a completed pay run.

Does it affect a previous tax year?

If the changes stretch over a previous Payroll Year End, send a Supplementary FPS.

Do this once you process up to the last period of the affected tax year.

For more information, read Supplementary FPS.
