Hi @JemmaP,
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to cancel your lodged return once you've submitted it. However, you can lodge an amendment to correct any mistakes made in the original lodgement. I'd recommend waiting for your original return to process first as amendments can delay us finalising it. Once it's finalised, lodge your amendment and it'll correct whatever you need to adjust! Our page on amendments runs through how to go about it a bit more.
