Symptom
The Tax Amount of External Source Documents is always zero in the VAT Return even though the Tax Base Amount is showing up correctly. This issue occurs with the webservice ManageJournalEntryIn which is transferring Journal Entries of Supplier Invoices into the System.

Here that the Tax Amount is 0,00 LC for all External Source Documents. Expectation is that an Amount is shown here as for the other Source Documents.
