TOWT is calculated by subtracting taxi fuel from which value?

The starting point is ramp weight (RMWT). Taxi fuel is the fuel burned during taxi to the runway, so the takeoff weight is obtained by subtracting that taxi fuel from the ramp weight. In other words, TOWT equals RMWT minus taxi fuel. Zero fuel weight already excludes fuel, so it isn’t the value you subtract from.
