TaxTim says: 13 August 2015 at 14:43 You need to request the Tax Directive from the Fund to see exactly how much tax was withheld and when it was withheld. Perhaps this was done in February and therefore falls under the 2015 Tax Year. You can also make use of our Lumpsum calculator to check the payout and tax that should have been withheld.
