I was happy to see Qantas flights included in the Finnair award-search, until I saw the charges. Finnair overcharges by more than 100$!
Going into the details, Qantas charges 14$ per segment in carrier charges and 21$ in other fees/taxes (unspecified). Total 69 AUD.
Finnair also charges 14$ per segment in carrier charges, 17$ per segment in other fees and a whopping UO (= goods and services tax) of 54,51$ per segment!!!
109,02 in GST, with tax rate at 10%, means Finnair is taxing me for a purchase of 1090$, around 745€. Bizarre. Is there a logical explanation or is Finnair simply ripping people off with a GST scam?
