days before you go and use it straight away. For example, buy it at Harvey Norman, Dick Smith etc. Take the camera and receipt with you and you can claim GST back at the airport. This is much cheaper usually than paying duty free prices at airport. As you go thru passport control here, go to the TAX REFUND SCHEME counter and claim back the tax portion. You must arrive at this counter more than 30 minutes before your departure time or they will not process claim. Check prices duty free, check best prices at retail outlets and work out which is cheaper.If duty free is $299.00 and retailer is $319.00, after tax refund it would be $290.00. Pays to shop around sometimes.
