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.
In this context, do you mean the airline remitting those taxes to the government? For countries with VAT (or any sales tax, really), all refunds are wholly issued even if the supplier has already remitted the tax. The supplier can, and should, claw it back later from the government.
