Loans that are marked as closed + Read more ...

All loans that have been transferred to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will be marked as closed (CLS-ATO).

For details of payments:

  • go to the Supplement Loan Summary (SLS) screen and select the relevant loan year
  • navigate to the Supplement Loan Transaction (SLT) screen where Repayment transactions (RPY) can be viewed

Note: the final balance on all outstanding loans will show as zero on the Supplement Loan Transaction (SLT) screen. This does not mean that the loan has been zeroed off. Where the loan has been transferred to the ATO, the top line on the SLT screen will show the transaction type as 'Australian Tax Office' and the amount outstanding as zero. This means that the loan balance has been transferred to the ATO for recovery through the taxation system.

Any excess repayment made after the contract period ends will not show on the Centrelink system. Customers should be directed to the ATO website for any details of payments made after the contract period.
