TRS - Confusion with Dates

I would be travelling on the 6th of December and I’m planning on getting something on the 6th of October.

Technically it’s 61 days between them but I’ve heard that they don’t count the date of travel when calculating the dates. In addition to that the TRS app doesn’t show me any warnings or errors when I chuck in these dates where as usually does if there’s an issue.

Do you think it’s a safe bet for me to go and buy it tomorrow haha

    wont be an issue.

      Or will be an issue…

  • The app lets me generate claim where as other dates don’t even let me generate a claim. Surely this would be fine right?

      Yes. But if it doesn't work, remember to come back and let us know.

      Easiest solution to eliminate the risk is to wait another day or two before buying whatever you're buying.

  • It's safe. I'm assuming you're using the TRS app on iOS.
    I had a similar case of 61 days earlier this year, but on the android TRS it came up with an error, while the iOS app was fine.

    You could just wait another few days to be safe.

  • +2

    Just leave a day earlier

  • If you are this concerned then it is not worth the risk, wait another day or two.

  • Just read the law.

    A NEW TAX SYSTEM (GOODS AND SERVICES TAX) REGULATIONS 2019 - REG 168.5.09

    168‑5.09 Time of export

    The goods must be exported within 60 days after the day on which they were acquired.

    ACTS INTERPRETATION ACT 1901 - SECT 36 Calculating time

    Item Column 1 If the period of time: Column 2 then the period of time:
    2 is expressed to begin at, on or with a specified day includes that day.

    You include the 7th of October, all the way to the 6th December. So that is 61 days.

  • Wait till Blacks Friday you'll save even more.
