How to fix it

The code is not one of the tax codes of the company.

Use a code that GET /v1/tax-codes lists. Never copy the codes of an example.

The code was not valid yet, or no longer, at the document date.

List the codes at that date with GET /v1/tax-codes?date=YYYY-MM-DD, and use one valid then.
