Getting Tax Number must be blank error while updating a customer Sage Accounting

Question

Hi, 
 Im triying to update Contacts using the API and Im getting the next error: 
 "validation" : { "errors" : [ { "field" : "tax_number", "message" : "must be blank" }, 
 { "field" : "tax_number", "message" : "Format must match '123456789XX1234 (15 characters)' for country Canada." } ] } 
 Any idea what is the issue, I cant really find anything specific for this type of error. Thanks!!!

Hi Railz Dev 
 I have never done it before, however, looking at the Customer import documentation, there are required fields. So if updating existing contact, you want to make sure first the "reference" field on the current customer is valid. Then make sure the required fields also are populated. 
 Here is the import Product documentation

 Hopefully, someone else here has done it.
