The error happens due to the possible reason that the Official Withholding Tax Key maintained for the corresponding WHT codes in configuration activity 104227 - Define Withholding Tax Codes - does not belong to the supported list as outlined in Defining Withholding Tax Keys.

Maintain the Official Withholding Tax Key included in Defining Withholding Tax Keys for the corresponding WHT codes.

This aligns with official legal requirements and ensures that submitted WHT reports are accepted by the withholding tax portal. Using any custom or self-defined WHT key without supporting legal documentation will result in rejection by the withholding tax portal.
