Observed result	Manuka honey was excluded from the tax refund, reducing the eligible purchase amount to $288 and failing the $300 minimum threshold.
Public/official layer	To claim a TRS refund in Australia, you must spend AUD 300 or more (including GST) at a single business. GST-free goods are not eligible for a refund.
Caveat	GST-free items do not count towards the AUD 300 minimum spend required for TRS tax refunds.
