The Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS) was introduced by the Australian Federal Government and took effect on 1 July 2000. The scheme means that tourists and Australian overseas travellers may be entitled to a refund of goods and services tax (GST) and wine equalisation tax (WET) on purchases of goods bought from Australian retailers.
