Tourist Refund Scheme

The Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS) enables you to claim a tax refund on goods purchased in Australia.  

To claim a refund you must:

• Spend $300 or more in the one store and get a single tax invoice
• Buy goods no more than 30 days before departure
• Wear or carry the goods on board and present them along with your tax invoice, passport and boarding pass to a TRS facility
• Claims are only available up to 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure of your flight
