I ready the sticky post on VAT tax refunds, but 1 still have one question (in a couple parts).

So potential VAT refund on products exported but not on services.... Clearly the daily rates of a hunt would be services. But are the trophy fees or any part of the hunt considered 'products' and therefore refundable? If so, how does one go about obtaining a refund as the 'product' is at the dip and pack facility. Just need to show appropriate receipts/documentation from the outfitter.

I'm sure it's too much to hope of that any part of this is refundable, but figured I'd ask!

Trophy fees are not subject to VAT tax, only wounded or non exported animals.
 
Thanks @jeff. At up to 20% rate, that makes a big difference!

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
