Duty-free and tax-free sales are sales where the entire GST amount is removed from the sale.
Duty-free sales are only allowed for stores in duty-free zones and products purchased must be taken out of the country it was purchased from.
Tax-free sales, on the other hand, are for sales to businesses that are exempt from paying tax on purchases.
Contact your local authorities to confirm your eligibility of performing these sales.

The system tracks whether the items in these sales have been collected by the customer. You can mark them off and track them through another utility.
