Wife purchased something over $1000 with the intent to claim TRS, shop assistant put her name on the tax invoice and said address not necessary.

I remember reading that both name and address are required for invoices over $1000. Is it still the case?

What's your experience?

"Tax invoices of AUD 1000 or more in value must contain your identity (name, address, email or passport number). Contact the retailer and request a new tax invoice if this information is missing, as the tax invoice will be rejected at the TRS facility without this information."

Thanks for the link. Although a hassle but several hundred dollars are at stake so she will go back to ask for a new receipt, she must go back to ask for a new receipt.

  If several hundred dollars are af stake and she's planning on not leaving the item permanently overseas then chances are she'll have to pay the GST back upon return anyway
