21 August 2024 – Did you know that if you have made a mistake on your submitted Income Tax Return, you can revise and resubmit it? To correct an initially submitted Income Tax Return, use the “Request Correction” function on eFiling to submit an updated return to SARS. Use this function if a mistake was made during the completion of the initial return. However, note that a request for correction will not be permitted in the following instances:
- The return is in an issued or saved state.
- There is an active verification in progress for the request.
- An active audit case is in progress.
- An agreed estimate was performed by SARS for Personal Income Tax.
- SARS has finalized an audit case or a Revised Declaration of your Personal Income Tax.
- You have submitted supporting documents for an active verification.
Once you submit the Request for Correction, the eFiling status will change to “Correction Filed.”
