If I switch to using 2 x 2-4-1 Vouchers in my account I then get.
130,000 Avios + £0.00 each per person + Taxes £319.78, Total £1,918.68.

Saving 230,000 Avios for around £1,000 which seems like a good idea.
Wouldn't normally consider any awards in Y but being Voucher and Avios a plenty something I'm looking at.

I can't figure out why the difference from Zero to lots of taxes.

I would say its offering reward flight saver which would be a fixed fee instead of taxes?
