Removing uploaded documents off sars e-filing



Is there a way to remove supporting documents that I have uploaded on the SARS eFiling website?

If you have not submitted them, then click "remove" and they will disappear.

Thank you sp much for the reply Tim. I have unfortunately submitted the forms already
But, I have a new question now... I was working on my ipad while "roaming" on the sars website, when I accidentally pressed the "request correction" button
(Although, that is what I think it said). There is now 2 returns showing on my profile
One that I originally submitted and another that says "saved". Does this mean that must now resubmit my info and file a "new" correct return?
The document I wanted to remove was a logsheet as my logsheet was insufficient
Thanks for your time and help. This blog is great! !!

Yes unfortunately it does mean you would need to resubmit your return, just make sure that everything is exactly the same. By requesting a correction now, a new "documents for review" will open up, so you can submit the correct document.

I would like to NOT claim travel expense anymore as, my log sheet is insufficient. That would then be the only difference on the return. Would that be OK?

Yes, you can just remove it from the new return and submit without it.
