Treasury Committee: Student loans and taxation of graduates

Committee hears from witnesses

The Treasury Committee will take oral evidence on the intersection of student loans and the taxation of graduates. The inquiry examines how student loan repayment obligations interact with the income tax system, the impact on graduate earnings and employment incentives, and whether current policies create unintended consequences for young workers' take-home pay and career choices.

This affects millions of graduates repaying loans and prospective students deciding whether higher education is affordable. It also matters to the government's fiscal position: how student loans are taxed and repaid affects both graduate disposable income and Treasury revenues. The findings may inform future policy on student finance sustainability and labour market participation.
