1215 - Taxable refunds of contributions (overseas pension schemes only)
Most people will not need to complete these fields and if you do, you may have a tax adviser to help you.
Do not enter an amount in this field if you have not received any lump sum payments from overseas pension schemes during 2017 to 2018.
These refunds are of amounts that represent certain pension savings you made in 2015 to 2016 which was treated as non-protected pension savings under the Special Annual Allowance provisions that applied in 2016 to 2017.
Short service refunds of contributions are a different type of refund and you should enter those in the field 'Taxable short service refund of contributions (overseas pension schemes only).
