    Yes, you can, as long as: over $300 from the same ABN and within 60 days before departure. If it is over $1000, you need your official name (matching your travel doucment) to be on the tax invoice.

  • You can lodge them all via the app and keep invoices and the gadgets along with you at the counter. they just check them and its a seamless process. I had few phones to claim gst few months ago.

      • didn't understand few things.

        just google what you didn't understand.

  • if there are multiple things from multiple invoices from different date purchases, But SAME business with same ABN, making it over $300 but below $1000 , can it be claimed ???

    • In General, YES. As long as you take them out of the country and you can show the officer. (all purchases need to do within 60 days before departure.)

  • If you purchase from eBay using a promo code (e.g. 20% off) they even give you a tax invoice for the pre-discount price.

  • "If you bring goods back into Australia for which a GST refund via the TRS has been claimed, the goods must be declared, and if the value of those goods (combined with any other overseas/duty free purchases) exceeds the passenger concession allowance, any applicable GST and/or duty may need to be paid unless another concession (example, all personal clothing – except furs) is available. "

    What is the passenger concession allowance?

      Families travelling together can pool this allowance (a couple with one child can bring in a total of AUD 900 + AUD 900 + AUD 450 = AUD 2250 worth of goods into Australia without paying duty or GST). This is called your passenger concession.
