According to their terms & conditions they may charge a fee, but they never applied it to me.
I did cancel cheapo tickets ("non refunadable") twice over the last half year and both times did get back all my taxes (even the fuel pseudo-tax). I once called over the phone (had to insist to get a refund though) and once in the ticket office at ZRH airport. The refunded the money immediately within 3 minutes!
What you probabbly won't get back is the "booking fee" but I never had this as I has really cheap tickets booked over the internet, where they don't change this fee.
Also bear in mind, that if you book via a travel agent they might add their own fees at their own discretion...
