You were digging at the wrong place. Marks nl.po was already fine, but
the report just ignored the translation of the last 4 entries.

>> 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.

While I understand Johns demurring about the option system, I had the
impression, this report did it - with the exception of 4 entries - in
the right way.

Please download a new version of the report
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/890a24a38f820f4836faf576b877fb8f0393c787/src/report/business-reports/taxinvoice.scm

and test it in al possible ways. Save the report option, start gnucash
in a different language, overwrite them, switch back...
I did it only between de, en and nl.
