Ticket tax codes listing

Subscribe
Found this in rec.travel.air. Does anyone have a website to find the current listing and rates?


Quote:
Airline ticket taxes are represented by biliteral (two-letter) codes that appear on the ticket. Enough space is allowed for up to three different taxes to be shown in the tax boxes. On ARC ticket stock, the first two taxes appear below the base fare, while the third tax appears above the base fare. However, if there are more than three taxes, all taxes beyond the first two are combined in a single box using the code "XT." A break down of the "XT" taxes appears in the fare calculation area, or "ladder," of the ticket.

What follows are the various codes in use as of January 1, 2001:

The following is a complete (it is hoped) list of all tax codes currently found on airline tickets. Does anyone know what the Mauritania tax abbreviated "S.A.M." is?

YQ
Missing from the list is YQ. It's really not a "tax", but is is listed along with the other taxes and the total tax amount includes this mysterious YQ. Moreover, it is the largest component of the total tax amount, BY FAR !!!

YQ is a basket of stuff that the Airline Company pockets (therefore, not really a tax). It includes insurance, fuel surcharges and whatever else the airline tries to get away with.

YR and CA
Does anyone know what are YR and AC ?

YR appears on MEX-X/ATL-MIL-X/AMS-YVR with DL+KL.

AC appears on MEX-YVR-MEX with AC.

And it also has a high YQ, so I wonder what other types of airline charges they must be...
Reply
YR is an airline surcharge, normally for insurance. Don't know about AC, but if you meant CA, that's Canadian airport security fees.

Reviving this thread because it helped me figure out the taxes/fees on an award ticket I just booked, and was pretty accurate in doing so. ^

Bumping this up again. Does anybody know anywhere where I can find a more comprehensive list?

If you find your fare on http:\\matrix.itasoftware.com you get a complete breakdown of all the taxes. Takes a little learning to be able to use quickly.

I'm going to BUD next week; I found tax code FE, billed to me at $3.70. I'm guessing this is a fee charged by Ferihegy (Liszt Ferenc) Airport.
Reply
No,

FE is listed as Hungarian Security charge, €3.

HU is Hungarian Airport Tax, €24.70.

Here is a great document with all taxes and (exemption) rules for them. Note it is a bit outdated (2009), so mentioned prices could have changed.
