They apply, but they never reduce the taxes. A $200 base fare ticket will still cost you $30 with a $200 TCVA, but it will cost $5 with a $200 e-cert (the $5 being unavoidable government fees).

I'll trade same-value TCVA for e-certs any day (and have happily - for both sides - done so since the introduction of PQD).
