No my agent does stuff up because everytime I finish with the trip he always refund me 100-200AUD and he said it is because of tax... But anyway Do n't really care as I get $$ back
I believe that your agent is actually giving you a 'discount' on your tickets. there is NO WAY that one can just simply refund the tax back to you without a reissuing of the actual ticket to reflect what has been paid out. Basically it MUST tally with what you paid to what your ticket says. Otherwise your agent will be given a debit memo from the airlines.

Doesn't matter whether it's a VISIT EUROPE pass or a seperate ticket, the taxes will more or less be the same. Taxes in europe are very very high. But then again, so are taxes in Australia!!! I'm doing an award ticket from HKG-x/SIN-SYD/MEL-x/SIN-BKK and my taxes alone are over US$120!!
