The normal APU fuel is included in the taxi out. You should add some extra if you consider an use of APU that would exceed that "time".
The taxi-in is not considered in the minimum fuel requirements since your minimum legal fuel is from take-off to to landing.
The taxi-out fuel follows the same philosophy: it could make exceeding the max tow, providing at line up you have the fuel required to arrive at destination, plus reserves.
