Maximize Your TRS Refund with Plus Outdoor - What is Tourist Refund Scheme?

Australia's Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS) is a fantastic opportunity for international travellers including Australians to claim a refund on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) paid on goods purchased in Australia. If you're shopping for outdoor equipment and adventure gear, Plus Outdoor offers the perfect products for your next adventure and a great way to maximize your TRS refund.

What is the TRS Scheme?

The Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS) allows you to claim a refund for GST paid on goods that cost over $300 (including tax). The scheme covers a variety of purchases, including outdoor gear, clothing, and other travel essentials. If you're planning to take home some new equipment from Plus Outdoor, you could save significantly by applying for this refund.

To qualify, the goods you purchase must be taken out of Australia within 60 days, and you must depart from an Australian international airport. The refund can be processed at the airport before you leave, making it easy and hassle-free.

How Does Plus Outdoor Fit into the TRS Scheme?

At Plus Outdoor, we specialize in high-quality outdoor gear, perfect for your next adventure—whether you're hiking, camping, out in the rain, skiing, Antarctica cruise or simply enjoying a stroll around the city. Our selection of products includes jackets, pants, t-shirts, shorts, and more, all of which qualify for the TRS refund when purchased in Australia.

Here’s how it works:

• Shop online or in-store at Plus Outdoor for gear that suits your adventure needs.
• Spend over $300 on your purchase, including tax.
• Ensure you have a valid passport, purchase receipt, and the product with you when departing Australia.
• When leaving, head to the TRS counter at the airport to claim your refund.
