If you want to reduce your study loan balance before indexation applies, you’ll need to make a voluntary repayment by 26 May. This will allow enough time for your payment to be processed.

There are a few ways you can make a voluntary repayment - including BPAY and credit card.

Repayments cannot be claimed as a tax deduction.

Feel-good vibes AND a tax deduction? Yes please! 🙌

You can claim a tax deduction for donations to organisations that have a deductible gift recipient (DGR) status. But not all charities and organisations have this.

Here’s how to check if you can claim:

1. Search for and open the ABN Lookup tool
2. Type in the name of the organisation
3. Select the right organisation from the list (pro tip: if it’s not listed, you can’t claim a deduction)
4. Scroll down to the ‘Deductible gift recipient status’ heading.

✔️ If it shows a status – yes! You can claim
❌ If it says ‘Not entitled’ – no deal. You can’t claim a tax deduction.
