How to fix this error?

This is a customizable message. You can request the Service Center to
put the message type for your User as Error "E", Warning "W" or Info
"I". The default message type is "Error".
If the message type is set to "Error", the system will not update the
Tax Rate, unless the Valid from date of the new Rate is not later than
the Valid from date of the existing Rate.

update the Tax Rate with validity date in the past compared to the
existing tax rate and delete the existing tax rate. It is the
responsibility of the user to check if there are any documents already
posted with existing tax rate in the system for the validity dates to be
changed, in order to avoid any inconsistencies connected with tax
amounts and additionaly the user should update this Tax Rate again, in
order to have the deleted Rate in the system again.
