Tax refund and exemption
Shopping abroad can save money in addition to spending in duty-free shops. What exactly is a tax rebate? What's the difference between tax exemption and tax refund? Let's find out.
I. Tax Refund
Tax refund refers to Australia's federal tax refund scheme TRS(tourismRefundScheme), that is, when passengers apply for departure at the airport, they will refund about 10% of goods and services tax (GST) or 14.5% of wine tax (wet) to most processed foods, such as clothes, souvenirs and alcohol.
Shopping time: the date of purchase must be 60 days before departure, which is based on the time on the tax invoice issued by the merchant.
Shopping amount: the corresponding valid invoice amount (including GST/WET) is more than 300 Australian dollars for one or more shopping in the same merchant.
Tax payment: GST/WET has been paid at the time of purchase, and the goods without tax payment cannot be refunded.
Tax refund process: valid tax invoice, articles taken out of the country after tax refund, my passport, boarding pass and other travel documents that prove that I will leave the country immediately.
Refund time: the refund will be completed within 60 working days. You need to have an international credit/debit card or an Australian bank account and check.
Therefore, the tax refund procedure is more complicated. If you buy something in a tax refund shop, you can download the "Tourism Tax Refund Scheme" App in advance, fill in the relevant information, and operate the generated QR code, which can reduce the queuing time through the fast track.
Two. exempt from taxation
Tax exemption refers to' tax exemption', that is, exemption from some import duties, consumption taxes and value-added taxes contained in commodities.
Shopping time: before departure.
Shopping amount: unlimited.
Tax payment: direct deduction is not refundable.
Shopping process: Go to DFS service desk, show your original passport, leave your travel itinerary, and apply for a duty-free shopping card with a credit card.
To sum up, the success of tax refund has certain skills. Duty-free shops do not have these harsh shopping conditions, and will directly deduct money when checking out; Goods that need tax refund will be inspected by the airport customs, while shopping in duty-free shops will be directly tax-free, eliminating the cumbersome tax refund procedures at the airport; Shopping in duty-free shops, picking up goods in shops and airports, completely freeing your hands and buying boldly in buybuy.
