I believe this is normal practice amongst UK carriers (BA and BD most certainly do not refund the YQ element on a restricted booking).

Regular tax, APD, is refundable as it is the element paid to the government however some airlines attach a "service fee" or "handling charge" in order t refund what is rightfully yours. In some cases, this makes it not even worthwhile asking for the bleeding refund
