Cause

Tax Event 200 is a non-tax event. This means, the amount will be 0. 

The non-taxable events available across all countries/regions are usually 1 (non-taxable purchase), 200 (import scenario) and 300 (non-taxable sale). 

 

Resolution

This is expected system behavior, change the Tax event to taxable events if required.
