BA has been (improperly?) collecting certain U.S. taxes/fees on some surcharge-free international awards for at least a few months now. There's a long thread about it which quotes the IRS Revenue Ruling, and Nicci was made aware of the issue, but so far there's been no explanation posted in this forum as to why BA is doing so.
to line its pockets? If this does turn out to be true, it really is fraud, no matter what certain well-beloved members may have to say about it.
