The Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS) enables you to claim a tax refund on goods purchased in Australia and is open to all overseas visitors and Australian residents, provided you meet the following conditions:

• You can use the goods before leaving Australia, but they must be taken as hand luggage on departure from Australia
• Goods must be claimed within 30 days of purchase, i.e. from date of invoice
• Total cost of goods must be $300.00 (inc. GST) or more
• Must have original tax invoice. We will provide one with the delivered goods or upon pickup, see invoices

The duty free price can be seen on the product pages, basket and order form. The GST refund is the amount of GST shown on the invoice and can be calculated by subtracting the duty free from the online price. Customs will calculate your refund for you.

If a GST refund is warranted, the money will be paid in cash if the total refund amounts to $200 or less. For larger refunds, a non-cash alternative is available.

When leaving Australia you may collect your refund from the TRS booths or from the Customs officer on duty, who will assist you to make your claim.

For information on tax-free shopping contact Australian Customs Service

Telephone (Within Australia): 1300 363 263
