I have an strange question.

I resigned from a job in 2008 and transferred my pension to a preservation fund.
In February 2018 I received a payment from the administrators of my ex company pension fund being a surplus of some sorts. They did not contact me and just obtained a tax directive and deducted PAYE and paid me the balance. (Would have preferred to have it preserved). Upon query they sent me an IRP5 certificate. The IRP5 reflects period employed as 03/2008-03/2008.


I expected this information to have appeared on my 2018 tax return, however, it does not. Should i contact the administrators to get them to update the information with SARS? I can update some of the information, however, details like employer paye reference number (I assume would be the pension fund administrators) i do not have and I certainly cannot update the date per the IRP5.

Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Thanks
