Hi all,
I have a question.
Currently, i am paying a HECS amount every month deducted from my pay. This year i have had additional HECS deducted from my tax return being a big amount 2k+ even though im paying a good amount every month.
As far as im aware, it should be about 4% of your income. Do i have a right to contact them about it or it has to be paid this way?
Cheers
The payroll deduction is based on percentage of your pay https://www.ato.gov.au/rates/help-repayment-thresholds-and-r…
Come tax return time, you may also need to factor investment losses, fringe benefits, etc.
If you believe that payroll is deducting too much, just contact them and ask them to explain their calculations.
