Traps
- Exempting a tax without a legal reason is the agency's liability.
YQ/YRare carrier surcharges, not government taxes — whether they are refundable depends on the airline and fare rules.- For a refund, the government taxes of unused segments are normally refundable even on non-refundable fares — see Partial refund — the refund record, used coupons, taxes and penalty.
