Thanks!
Staying in transit does save on taxes (sometimes a lot, e.g. at LHR, and sometimes a little (e.g. most US airports) and of course you are allowed to leave the airport. If you change your travel date and the transit becomes a stopover, you will have to pay the additional tax before you are allowed to board.
