Can't get a breakdown.
The actual taxes on BOS-LHR with no carrier surcharge would be , iirc, USD5.60
The actual taxes on BOS-LHR with carrier surcharge shows as $28.70 - the AA Carrier surcharge for economy is $65 , which comes to USD93.70 according to ITA
With 'taxes' of USD89.20, then QF is definitely charging the carrier surcharge
In business class , the surcharge is $600
If purchasing using AA miles, expect a cost of between $5.60 and $28.70 ( I think it will be $5.60 )
if purchasing using QF miles, expect a cost of USD628.70
