Cause

You have set the Bank G/L account with tax relevant in the field 'Tax Category'. This is checked in the program. App "Post Outgoing Payments" is built for bank-transactions (which are never tax-relevant). This is checked in the program and these bank postings are always posted without tax. For this reason, the bank account should not have a tax indicator in App "Manage G/L Account Master Data".

Resolution

Change the field 'Tax Category' from tax relevant to empty in App "Manage G/L Account Master Data".
