stumbled upon this on facebook, paxtons is doing 10% storewide online for everything on site.
e.g
Canon 1dx mk2 $8497.95
10% off ($849.80)= $7648.15
going overseas? no worries, go though TRS,claim tax
GST off ($695.29) = total $6952.86
bargain bargain bargain
Are you on crack?? What are you on about? where the hell did 7 other people come into play.
He might thought there's a $1000 per person TRS limit…
Even so theres only a 700$ GST value on that camera. and they're not gonna let several people make a claim on a single receipt any ways.
@geoffellis: Are you on crack? It's $7648.15. Max $1000 per person. You need 7 other people who aren't claiming anything to be able to claim the $700ish GST back and be able to keep it, otherwise you will have to legally pay it back when you return to Australia.
Max $1000 per person.
what are you talking about? there's no max $1000 per person.
Tax invoices of AUD 1000 or more in value must contain your identity (name, address, email or passport number).
he can very much so claim the $700 gst back on his own.
@CVonC: now you as well?
Tax invoices of AUD 1000 or more
How is $7648.15 not more than $1000?
Facepalm
he can very much so claim the $700 gst back on his own.
No, no he can not.
@Orpheus: LOL you need to learn to (profanity) read.
7648$ IS more than 1000$ - but if you read the entire sentence you quoted from him, and not just cut it off - you wouldn't look like such an idiot right now.
This guy. Honestly.
Can't be bothered to explain to him when he clearly has no idea how to read and understand how TRS works.
-_-
Do you guys even know what TRS is or how it works?
Double Facepalm
Stop giving out wrong and incorrect information without knowing the facts.
Bringing goods back into Australia for which you have already received a TRS refund
If you are aged 18 years or over, you can bring up to AUD 900 worth of goods into Australia duty-free, or AUD 450 if you are younger than 18.
Families travelling together can pool this allowance (a couple with one child can bring in a total of AUD 900 + AUD 900 + AUD 450 = AUD 2250 worth of goods into Australia without paying duty or GST). This is called your passenger concession.
If the total value of the goods you are bringing into Australia is greater than your passenger concession, including goods for which you have previously claimed a tax refund under TRS and any purchased overseas:
you must declare all of these goods
you will need to repay the GST refund back on the goods you claimed under the TRS
duty and GST will apply to all items purchased, not just goods over the limit of your passenger concession.
Penalties can apply if you don’t declare that you have goods in excess of your passenger concession.
Yes we know about that when you re-enter. But no one ever declares anything they TRS'd when they come back. And they never check. Everyone knows this.
The fact of the matter is, he can claim the entire $700 on his own @ TRS which your first post was stating that he couldn't. Even your second and third post talk about this "1000" limit when in reality you were in fact referring to the 900 limit per person when re-entering not the 1000 that requires a name on the tax invoice condition (which is the only "1000" amount regarding TRS conditons btw). First you say 1000 then you quote the 900 limit? Please dude.
Whether or not he declares the goods (which he won't) nor if he is actually checked and has to pay it back is not what's in question here.
Granted all this misunderstanding could've been avoided had the words and numbers been more appropriate from the beginning.
Penalties can apply if you don’t declare that you have goods in excess of your passenger concession.
Do you also think lying on your tax return is also a bargain? And speeding is also okay because you'll never get caught just because you think it so?
Haha wow, I am done.
That is not the issue that we were talking about. You changed the context of your argument to suit the message you failed to initially convey.
Hmm strange tried both codes and not working for the Fujifilm lens.
No stock on 5d4 :(
You're going to travel overseas with 7 other people to claim that GST back?
