Regulations 1, 2 and 3 come into force on 20 July 2007. Regulation 4 comes into force on 6 April 2008. The principal Regulations deal with the repayment of student loans paid to students under section 22 of the Teaching and Higher Education Act 1998. Regulation 3 amends regulation 11 of the principal Regulations. Regulation 11 makes provision for the timing of repayments of student loans. Regulation 3 inserts a new provision enabling repayments made by employers to cease in the case of borrowers who have agreed to repay the loan in full via fixed instalments or a lump sum after a certain date. Regulation 4 amends regulation 35 of the principle Regulations. Regulation 35 deals with the deduction from earnings of student loan repayments by employers of borrowers. It provides for employers to start and stop making deductions in accordance with notices from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs. The regulation states that employers must start and stop making deductions on the dates specified in the notice, which will be at least 14 days from the date of issue of the notice for employers with weekly payrolls and at least 42 days from that date in all other cases.

The employer is to continue making such deductions up until the date specified in the stop notice. The employer is required to stop making deductions on the first available pay day after the date specified in the stop notice. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2007/1683 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/education-student-loans-repayment-amendment-regulations-2007 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
