Exit fees? I've never heard of exit fees. ANy fees would be incorporated into your airfare price. Or maybe I don't understand.

While it is common in the Caribbean and Mexico to charge departure fees, it is not done in Europe.

Never seen a separate exit fee payable at the airport in Western Europe (Latin America, different story). But check Fodors on-lines guides' general info for each of the countries you're interested in. The guides will tell you for sure if a separate payment is needed.

If one is to assume that "tax" means something that is imposed by the local governing agency, there is a departure fee, as illustrated by this ticket reservation. However, I am not sure that a "service tax" is a true tax. Note that the taxes exceed the cost of the flight itself.
