I am trying to work out how turret damage is affected by armour, skills and masteries.

Here is the information for turret damage as far as I am aware:

Turret        Range  Base HP    AD     Gains 6 AD every:        AD Caps at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outer Tower   1000*  Various    152    1 min at each :40 second mark.   200
Middle Tower  1000*  Various    197    1 min starting at 7:00 mark.     263
Inner Tower   1000*  Various    210    1 min starting at 16:00 mark.    330
Nexus Tower   1000*  Various    115    1 min at each :40 second mark.   343
Nexus Obelisk 1000*    9999*    999    N/A                              N/A
  • Does armour reduce it, the same it would for auto attacks?
  • Do items like thornmail and skills like Rammus' curl reflect damage?
  • Do skills like Maoki's ultimate (-15% damage in the aoe) or Alistair's ultimate (-75% damage on self) affect the turret damage?
  • Does the last defensive mastery negate 4% of the damage?

  • Thornmail and Defensive Ball Curl do not reflect the damage back to a tower. However, you want to use Curl with Rammus when attacking a tower, anyway, because it grants him extra armor, which means more damage on the tower via Spiked Shell. I do not know about any of the rest, however.

    I know through playing Alistar that his ult reduces the damage he takes from towers.

Lets break this out piece by piece.

  • Does armour reduce it, the same it would for auto attacks?

Armor does in fact reduce the damage you take from normal towers. The base tower however deals true damage.

  • Do items like thornmail and skills like Rammus' curl reflect damage?

Simple answer: No. Most abilities do not deal damage to towers either. Exceptions include Heimerdinger's turrets and Alistar's passive.

  • Do skills like Maoki's ultimate (-15% damage in the aoe) or Alistair's ultimate (-75% damage on self) affect the turret damage?

Maoki's ultimate does not reduce damage taken from turrets but Alistar's ultimate does.

  • Does the last defensive mastery negate 4% of the damage?

I believe so for the following reasons. It says it reduces "All damage" doesnt exclude towers specifically (the way Maoki's ultimate description does).

Hope that helps.

  • All skills that behave differently towards towers have it explicitly stated in their tooltips.

I'm not sure about all. But what I'm positive about is that Maokai's ultimate DOES NOT reduce tower damage. And that's because it is stated in the skill description.

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Turret also states that :

Turret damage is mitigated by your armor, unless they are Shrine (spawn) turrets which ignore all resistances and immunities. Turret armor is not affected by your armor penetration/reduction.

The best way to know about thornmail/curl would be a test I guess. (But curl already do some damage, so you need to substract from what you see)
