YF turns out to be the Finnish VAT of 8% on the domestic segments. However the 76 Swiss Francs equal 8% of the domestic full fare. I find it quite strange that the tax for an award ticket is calculated on the full fare and I wonder if this calculation is correct. Any opinions/experiences?
andy, that's indeed very frustrating. i got the same answer when i wanted to book an award to kuusamo. they are more and more cheating us
