VAT returns duplicated (manual and efiling)

Hi. I recently did the VAT tax returns for a trust that is an NGO. There were many outstanding tax returns as far back as 2008. I did not know that there had already been manual tax returns submitted for some of the periods that I completed a tax return on SARS eFiling for. This has resulted in SARS thinking we owe them a large sum of money including penalties and interest. What is the best way to correct this situation?

You need to contact the call centre on 0800 00 7277 and explain the situation to them and ask them to remove the new returns submitted.
