Aussie Self Pay from Superannuation issues

[kookaburra 0]

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if people who've drawn from their superannuation to pay for any or all of their lapbanding costs have been taxed on the super that they got released early. If you have been taxed where you able to draw out more to cover the cost of the tax or did you just have to come up with the money to cover the tax at income tax time? Would appreciate any information as APRA (the Superannuation Authority) are closed until 4th of January and I want to know now of course!!

Thankyou in advance for any info,
