  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The system is configured to use classical withholding tax, but there is an attempt to apply time-dependent settings. This can happen if the withholding tax type is set up incorrectly or if there are conflicting settings in the configuration.
  Data Entry Error: The error may also occur if the user is trying to enter or modify withholding tax data that includes time-dependent elements, which are not supported in the classical withholding tax setup.

  Adjust Data Entry:
