Can one delete / cancel a SARS dispute once started?

  Written by Marc  

I was recently audited by SARS and was unsure as to how they got to their results. As I was considering a dispute and unsure about the process I clicked on the dispute button, and a blank dispute was automatically saved.

I have now decided not to dispute, how can I delete this blank dispute so that the case will proceed?

I do not have any supporting documents

  Written by Marc  

Hi Tim

I have started submitting my Tax in 2012. Now they asked for 2011. I was only working about 6 months in 2011. When I called my previous employer he said he cant give me any documents as he has lost it all in a robbery. SARS is asking for supporting documents for 2011 and I don't have anything (not even medical aid etc).
What do I do ?

Thank you
Lara
