Tourist Refund Scheme - No of Days Calculation and Recent Experience

nnaa8287 on 17/01/2023 - 02:17

Few questions about my upcoming travel.

1- Has anyone travelled recently from Melbourne airport and claimed the GST refund? I have been reading that QR codes take longer than manual form filling. Is that still the case?

2- Is there a maximum $ limit to claim tax for?

3- I am travelling solo and have ladies' footwear. Can I claim tax for it?

4- My purchase date is 27 Nov 22 and my travelling date is 26 Jan 23. Does that fall within 60 days? Do i have to include the last day in the calculation which makes it 61 day

Thank you

    When you generate a QR code you put in date of purchase and date of travel. If it falls outside the 60 days it will prompt you of such.

    QR codes take longer than manual form filling.

      QR takes longer yet you are suggesting using QR queue?

    I claimed at Melbourne in October, didn't pre fill anything. Took 2-3 mins at the counter.

      was there a queue for 'Pre-filled' ones?

    stupid question, there was something that i bought and forgot to claim during a travel last year… can there be a backdated claim done on it?

      I read somewhere you cant. It has to be within 60 days of your travel.

      No. Can only be claimed when you are physically on your way out of the country.

    Is there a need of name and address if the invoice value is between 300-1000?
