I suggest you speak with Debs. She used to work at Croydon LEA and has
contacts there from whom she can find out this sort of information. We
cannot allow students to carry on like this, there has to be a deadline and
tax self assessments don't have to be in until the end of January! Other
Universities give students a deadline date by which payment must be made,
LEA assessment or not.
