Tourist Refund
Scheme
If you are leaving the country within
30 days, you can claim back the GST on any purchase over $300AUD at the airport
as you leave. All you need to do is show the TRS booth the Tax Invoice we give
you and the physical products purchased.
The TRS is open to all overseas
visitors and Australian residents, except air and sea operating crew.
The refund is paid on goods costing
$300 or more, bought from the same store, no earlier than 30 days before leaving
Australia. Travellers may purchase several lower-priced items from the one
store, either at the one time or over several occasions within the 30-day
period, provided the total purchase amounts to $300 or more and the goods are
covered by the one tax invoice.
Travellers leaving Australia
through an international airport may collect a refund in cash on departure (if
the refund is $200 or less) or choose a non-cash option. Noncash options
include:
cheque
credit to an Australian bank
account
payment to a credit
card
Customs will aim to make non-cash
payments to travellers within 30 days. To calculate the GST free price on any
product listed on our site, divide the price by 1.1 or choose the International
pricing button as a guide. We will not accept Ex-GST orders for residence
of Australia.
Example:
GPS 60c - $525 Inc
GST
Divide 525/1.1 = $477.27
Inc GST price of $525 - Ex GST price
of $477.27 = $47.73
You will receive a refund of
$47.73
The GST on our freight charge cannot
be claimed.
