The Tax Tables are Copy-On-Write objects. When you post an Invoice
gnucash makes a snapshot copy of that tax table so that if, down the
road, you modify the entries it wont affect the results (because invoice
tax values are always computed and not stored). Imagine if you went to
go reprint an invoice from 2 years ago and it uses today's taxes instead
of the taxes from 2 years ago!!
So when you unpost the invoice, it asks whether to reset the tax tables.
In other words, do you keep the taxes as they were when you first posted
the invoice, or should you update them to the current values.
If your taxes haven't changed, then the answer doesn't matter. But if
you HAVE edited the tax tables, then the answer DOES matter based on why
you're unposting.

Hope the above explanation helps.
