Taxes

Travelport is getting Taxes data directly from ATPCO X1/X2 record in an automated fashion.

How many taxes can Travelport process ?

Currently the number of taxes handled is 20 for all ticket types in Travelport+.

Error UNABLE TO FILE - MORE THAN 20 TAXES at Fare Quote is returned when more than 20 taxes are applicable

Please refer to MyTravelport Knowledge Base article KB0013771 for guidelines on how to manage such situation.

Are Taxes refundable ?

If the ticket is refundable, all taxes and fees are refundable.

If the ticket is nonrefundable, the excise taxes (US) and PFCs (XF) are not refundable. The security fee (AY) is refundable on request. The airlines do not believe there is any legal authority to refund the international inspection fees (XA/XY/YC).
