- Summary:
-
"Under the Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS), travellers leaving Australia can claim a refund of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Wine Equalisation Tax (WET) that they have paid on goods that they have purchased in Australia within the previous 60 days.1 Refunding the GST and WET reflects the fact that they are domestic taxes levied on goods or services that are consumed in Australia and so do not apply to exports. Around 60 countries around the world also have such schemes and promote the availability of refunds as an incentive for tourists to spend money in their countries.The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) believes that Australia is the only country that allows its citizens and residents to participate in the scheme. ... The objective of this audit was to examine whether the TRS is being effectively administered, with the appropriate management of risks."--Page 7.
