Hi and welcome to AFF

You can use ITA to work this out.

Here's the link: http://matrix.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch/

Put in a dummy booking for your route and select your preferred carrier.

Pick any of the options by selecting the price on the left and the next screen should show the Takes/Levies/Charges.

At that sort of price, I'd be happy to bring my own lights. A compact handheld torch should do the trick.

Not completely true. At least two of these (Australian Int'l Passenger Service Charge - WYx2) are not government costs, but charged by privately owned airport operators. I love how airlines have conveniently labelled everything as taxes (and surcharges in fineprint), so the government usually gets the blame them.
