Invoice VAT booked to wrong account

[nicolas severyns]

Version 2.6.11 and 12 on Windows 10.

I managed to rebook some of the invoices, but others do not work.

I checked the tax table. Not one of my taxes points to the Equity:Starting
Balances account. But maybe they did when I started out with GnuCash two
months ago. I might have made some changes to the tax table while working
in Gnucash and adding data. That was probably not a great idea and I fear I
have messed things up totally.

When I tried to delete the Starting Balances account, because I don't need
it (it was empty without bookings at that moment), it kept telling me that
it was linked to my tax table and could not be deleted.

The taxes it referred to in my tax table do not refer to this account,
however.

I think I should start all over again, or find a way to break this link in
the tax table.
