edit: never mind, finally answered my own question.
The fare rules do not explain the taxes and surcharges - pretty well impossible to do since the surcharges will depend on (i) the ticketing carrier and (ii) the carrier/segments you choose to fly, and the taxes will depend on the places you choose to visit.
I keep having huge carrier surcharges in my quotes and I can't figure out where they're coming from. Arrgh!
If your 'quotes' are obtained by using the on-line booking tool, then you can see a list of all the taxes and "carrier imposed surcharges/fees" (aka fuel fines - but the tool only gives the total, not a breakdown by carrier/segment).
If not obtained that way, then you could use itasoftware.com to find out the taxes and surcharges segment by segment.
FYI - on a couple of DONE4/5s I'm pricing up the carrier imposed surcharges/fees come to about AUD750 and taxes to about AUD600
