Hi everyone, do you think a JB HiFi receipt (normal store receipt) with name included as comment will be enough for Tourist Refund Scheme?
The item is priced greater than $1000. The store personnel said this will do the trick and I am just sceptical. Before anyone points out, I will be calling TRS this afternoon, just wanted to check if someone had been in similar situation.
Thank you.
Yes
get a valid paper tax invoice in English with:
your name (and only your name) as it appears in your passport if the invoice is $1,000 or more
a description of the goods that allows us to match the goods to the invoice
the retailer's name, address and ABN (ACNs and ARNs not accepted)
the amount of GST or WET paid (or total price including GST)
the date of purchase
Why do you need to call them?
Thank you for the response. This defo cleared the doubts.
Well, there is no other way, isn't there?
I was thinking of doing a return and then click and collect order.
Yes, I did the same thing in Dec 2023 with a JB Hifi receipt with my name in the comment section.
Thank you mate. :)
Yes, that's sufficient.
Also, download the TRS app and fill all the details and save yourself some time.

Thank you :)
The app is such a time saver, I am really surprised at the number of people who don't know about it/don't use it.
Not using the app means you also piss off all the other people behind you who did use the app, and have to wait longer because of your lack of preparation.
At this point they should make using the app mandatory.
All JB stores have a 'Quote Book' and you can get the manager to write you a handwritten tax invoice, but as others have said, the receipt with name is completely fine.
Yes
