This does not include the the $9.5 billion in sales taxes they collected for the government. Here is a link to the SEC 10Q filing. I understand your point, but to me a tax is a tax.

I'm not sure what falls under 'other taxes and duties'. Are these taxes that the US government levies? State taxes? Taxes from outside the US? There's nothing to indicate what they are.
