Online Travel Booking and Bidding Agencies - Taxes on Tickets booked w/ Online Consolidators?

I'm generally pretty loyal to Orbitz, as I'm sure a lot of you are to whichever online consolidation service that you like to use, but I have a quick question abou service fees and taxes:

I was arguing w/ a friend of our who will be joining myself and my family on our trip to Prague. I booked my tickets via Orbitz, he booked his via Travelocity. Though the initial price that he got quoted was slightly lower, in comparing the flight reciepts, my flight was actually $75 cheaper.

I noticed that travelocity added $116.00 in taxes and something like $6.00 in service fees...when I only got $10.00 in taxes/fees total...

So my question is, are taxes included in the fares available on Orbitz??? How does expedia/priceline deal with this??

Thanks.

JC
