The nl.po in GitHub is the same one that's baked into 2.6.19, so recompiling it isn't going to change anything. From a brief look at the code it appears that the strings are marked for extraction to msgids in report/business-report/taxinvoice.scm but that gettext isn't actually called on them... but it's option text and the option system is pretty convoluted so I might have missed it.

For anyone else looking into this the strings are defined at taxinvoice.scm lines 225-234.
