Carrier surcharges are not taxes. I believe that it has been ruled that and so are not exempt and should be taken into account when calculating reimbursement due

I don't see that taxes that are calculated as percentage of fare would get refunded since the ticketed fatre tax will, I would think, have been remitted by the airline.
