TRS tax refund on GoPro bought from The Good Guys eBay - possible?

I bought a GoPro Hero5 from the recent Good Guys sale on eBay.

I'm just wondering if it's possible to get a GST refund via the TRS when I fly out of the country?

I'm not sure which receipt I should use. I don't think I got an official "tax invoice" for it showing GST paid.

    No GST invoice, then NO.
    Any invoice with ABN number on it;

    A tax invoice has the word ‘tax invoice’ on it and shows the business name and Australian Business Number (ABN) of the retailer, the purchase price including the GST and/or WET paid, a description of the goods and the date you purchased the goods. For tax invoices over $1,000, the tax invoice must also show your name and address.

    Just get in touch with the Good guys store who completed your order - you should still get a Tax Invoice. I recently purchased a fridge on ebay and they handed me a tax invoice with GST etc..

    • from the good guys deal..

    • I see. I requested an invoice from them but it still doesn't show GST. Do you mind telling me what your invoice says next to "includes GST"?

      Yep, me too! Loving the camera.

      Was hoping it would come with a receipt, hence the concern when it didn't. The invoice they emailed me earlier doesn't have GST, so I guess I'll go back and ask them again. Thanks for the help.

  • Just email the store the docket number requesting a copy of the invoice.

  • I bought a mobile phone from mobileciti on ebay and I got the invoice with GST etc when the mobile is delivered. Have you received the package yet?

  • Thanks, all! Two calls later I managed to get the correct receipt from the store. For some reason the first one they sent had $0 GST.

    Interestingly, the invoice is for the full non-discounted price, so I should get a little more in the refund than I expected!

  • Good guys emailed me my receipt when bought from ebay.
