As
http://book.ledgersmb.org/1.3/split-book/sec-coa-account-configuration.htmlexplains,
it is indeed a checkmark to identify an account as a chequing or
current account to be reconciled.

Right. The tax table can't be deleted from, because by doing so any
invoices in the system loose the relation with the tax rules that led to
the tax amounts on the invoices.
The weird thing here is that the inventory account should normally not have
an associated line in the tax table.

That works. The tax table is an exception because there is no referential
relationship between the tax table and the invoices generated using the
lines in the table. As a consequence there is no good rule to determine
whether a line can be deleted or not. So deletion has been blocked in
general.

Accounting systems are generally designed to make deletion hard. Same with
LedgerSMB. Renaming accounts is your best option.

The book referenced above is work in progress, please provide me with
comments regarding sections you would value to be written first.
Bye,
Erik.
