Universities are not being asked to withhold tax before a payment is made, so there will be taxation consequences for the receipt of the payment. If this payment is made and the taxation consequences are not dealt with at the time of the payment being made, isn't there a risk that students could end up with a taxation debt because they haven't actually had any taxation deducted from the payment?
