Some people don`t know the new rules, but they can`t refund the tax.
Yesterday, a netizen shared a big news on fb: Melbourne airport tax rebate process has been changed again!
If the value of the tax refund item in the checked baggage exceeds $5000, it must be sealed at the customs office on the first floor, and then the receipt tax refund with the seal
As a result of the fact that many people do not know the new regulations, the receipt of the tax refund has not been sealed, and finally there is no way to refund the refund, and a lot of money has been lost.
When I saw the news, I almost got a little old blood out!
What`s going on?
How did the tax refund process change again?
Didn`t you just change it in January?
It`s only been a few days. Have you changed it again?
Don`t let people get a good tax refund?!
In order to verify the authenticity of the message, the little bit went to the official website of the Melbourne airport to check.
At present, the airport official network does not have the latest notification of the tax refund process.
However, many of the net users have confirmed by their own experience that this new tax rebate is really true!
If there is not more than $5000 in the check-in baggage, it will have to be checked and sealed first on the first floor.
And the new rule was at least started on June 25.
The total amount of tax rebate goods is only $420, which also has to be stamped first.
And it is said that the notice on the first floor that says "less than $5000 tax rebate does not need to be stamped" has now been removed.
In this way, in the future, if there is a tax refund in the checked baggage, whether or not the amount of money is to be stamped first on the first floor, and then the check-in is carried out.
If there`s a little partner who doesn`t understand what`s going on, Micro will explain in detail:
Everyone goes abroad by plane, often in large bags and small bags with a pile of luggage, a lot of luggage has to be checked in.
In particular, more than 100 ml of liquid, gel or aerosol, as well as large or ultra-large items, are absolutely not allowed to take the aircraft and can only be checked.
At the beginning, if there is a need for a tax refund in the checked items, the tax refund process is divided into three steps:
1. Go to the customs office on the first floor of terminal T2 of Melbourne Airport, and ask the customs staff to check and confirm that your tax refund items are correct, and then seal the shopping ticket.
2. Take the checked baggage to the check-in counter.
3. Take the stamped shopping ticket to the TRS tax refund counter for tax refund.
The process was simplified in January this year by the Melbourne airport.
If the total amount of goods that need to be refunded in checked baggage is less than A $5000, one step can be saved:
You don`t have to wait in line to seal it at the customs office on the first floor, check it directly at the airport, and then take the shopping ticket to the TRS counter for tax refund.
But now, the process has changed back to the beginning of the same, or score three steps.
And without notice in advance, many people were caught off guard.
No wonder there`s a net friend`s toast: the tax refund is really a little change...
But they`re going to change, and we can`t do it. We`ll only be able to comply with the rules.
The small micro is also here to remind you: if there is an item that needs to be refunded in the baggage checked out from the airport of Melbourne, no matter how much money, it must be sealed at the customs office on the first floor!
Everyone must remember! In order to avoid losing a lot of money from tax refund.
