We are going to use Google Analytics hit builder for this purpose. Follow the steps:

Step 1: You need to have edit permission for the GA property you are trying to do this.

Step 2: Gather transaction data of that particular transaction including shipping and tax.

Step 3: Navigate to hit builder - https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/hit-builder

Step 4: Authorize it with your email.

Step 5: Create negative transaction in hit builder.

As you are already having a transaction, you need to apply negative values of the transaction with the same transaction ID.

v=1 // Version.
&tid=xxxxxx // Add your tracking ID here
&t=transaction // Transaction as hit type
&ti=xxxxx // Transaction ID
&tr=-xxx // Negative transaction revenue
&ts=-xx //Negative transaction Shipping
&tt=-xx //Negative transaction tax
&cu=XXX //Currency code

You can use any string as client ID.

Fill up the values by adding parameters and your hit will look something like this. enter image description here

Once this is filled up, click on 'Validate Hit'

If the hit is validated, click on 'Send to Google Analytics'

Note: It will take some time for data to show up.

I have used this on a test account where I had added the transaction using hit builder, never really faced any situation where I need to do it on live. Let me know if this works.
