I don't understand your question, because I just tried this and the tax
amounts went everywhere they should, and the trial balance updated
correctly. My accounts may have different names but the concepts are
identical.

So give us some more information, please.
Did you make the invoice through the 'business features', in which case
the automatic name is Accounts Receivable or A/R, although one is free
to rename it. I see you used 'creditors control account'.
Have you got the tax percentages set up through the preferences dialogs?
