As the title says, why is this the case?
It seems to me the field should be removed from the DocType Sales Invoice in ERPNext core or it should be changed to a link field on the customer table, no?

print format
When customizing print format for sales invoice, there is `Tax ID` element avail… able in the sidebar. Putting that element on the form has no effect.
**Expectation**
Properly formatted `Tax ID` label and value should appear on Invoice Print document.
e.g.
>**Tax ID** 1234567
**Workaround**
Add custom HTML filed with following code:
```
Tax ID: {{ frappe.db.get_value("Customer", doc.customer, "tax_id") }}
```
and apply your own formatting e.g.
```html
<div class="row data-field" data-fieldname="tax_id" data-fieldtype="Data">
<div class="col-xs-5 text-right"><label>{{ _("VAT ID") }}</label></div>
<div class="col-xs-7 value">{{ frappe.db.get_value("Customer", doc.customer, "tax_id") }}</div>
</div>
```
