Changing a tax return already filed

  Written by Marc   Posted 25 August 2014

I did not make a claim for medical expenses on my 2013 income tax return which I filed a year ago. I have now discovered that I could have claimed a deduction for medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of my taxable income. Can I change a tax return that has already been submitted to SARS, and if so, how do I do this on eFiling and how is this likely to be viewed by SARS?
