Introduction
SECTION 10A
SIMPLIFIED OUTLINE OF THIS DIVISION
A person who owes a debt to the Commonwealth under this Part may make voluntary ABSTUDY SSL repayments.
The person is required to make repayments once the person ' s income exceeds the minimum repayment income under the Higher Education Support Act 2003 and the person has finished repaying any debt under that Act and certain other income-contingent loan schemes.
The amount of the repayments is based on the person ' s income.
The Commissioner makes assessments of repayment amounts, which are collected in the same way as amounts of income tax.
