When you book it with partner code, is there any difference in taxes?

I assumed it is BA tax because the flight is booked as a BA flight instead of JL...the reason I am asking this is because BA flights earn substantially more Alaska miles than jl
Real taxes, as paid to government and regulatory bodies, are exactly the same for every airline flying the same route with the same class of travel.
Airline carrier surcharges can vary with marketing and/or operating carrier. Hard to predict.
Do not confuse real taxes and YQ YR carrier surcharges (~100% airline profit)
