Taxfree Shopping : Luxury Brands at Bargain Prices by:Sharon Ng
Taxfree shopping allows everyone to enjoy access to exclusive price reductions on a large number of luxury items
. This has been one of the most popular benefits of international travel. With leading duty free stores expanding their traditional retail focus at airports and expanding locations to 'high street' locations, as well as increasing their internet presence through the development of comprehensive online stores, consumers are being presented with a range of convenient methods to purchase duty free products. Whichever you choose, you will be guaranteed to grab yourself a bargain.The myth that you can only purchase when leaving the country you have visited is being eroded by flexible shopping arrangements. You can now visit a duty free store and enjoy taxfree shopping prior to your departure. The goods that you have purchased will be stored for you and delivered to your departure gate for pick up upon leaving. Alternatively, this process can be completed from the comfort of your hotel room, campervan or mobile phone... in fact anywhere where you can access the internet, you can purchase from a duty free online store.
Unlike other countries, New Zealand does not offer the opportunity to claim back the goods and services tax (GST) upon leaving the country. The only manner in which you can enjoy the benefits of taxfree shopping is through a registered GST free retailer. As a result, you should make the most out of the opportunities you have and investigate thoroughly what leading duty free stores have on presentation and any specials that they may be offering at the time. Be sure to revisit the website often, as not only will the specials change, but there are often 'internet specials', only available to those purchasing online through the duty free store website.
As consumers are increasing in their savviness and economic pressures are forcing many to search for a bargain, those who regularly travel as part of their work are taking greater advantage of taxfree shopping opportunities. According to a recent study conducted by Transit Centre which interviewed 245 human resource specialists, travel benefits such as air travel and access to duty free is one of the most demanded work benefits.
Proposed changes to the GST rate in New Zealand, with a planned rise from 12.5% to 15% will make taxfree shopping even more attractive. The saving propositions, especially on luxury and big ticket items, will mean that taxfree shopping that is only available at duty free stores within New Zealand, will be in increasing demand. Visit your leading duty free store today and enjoy the great savings available.
