Petition Match Scotland’s "Plan 1" student loan repayment threshold of £25k
Increase the student loans repayment threshold to £25,000 for "Plan 1" repayers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This would bring repayments in line with Scottish repayers on the new "Plan 4".
More details
Scottish Plan 1 payers have a current repayment threshold of £19,390 and will be transferred to "Plan 4" in tax year 2021-22 with a threshold of £25,000.
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the Plan 1 threshold will merely increase from £19,390 to £19,895.
Equalising the threshold would represent equality between graduates in all four UK nations.
