Depending on the initial situation, carry out one or more of the following steps:

If the account number was determined via account determination and the account number defined in Customizing is incorrect, correct your Customizing entry.

If the field Tax category in the G/L account master record is incorrectly maintined, correct your entry in this field: Change G/L account.

can anyone plz tell me why this error is and also where to change the settings in SAP IMG.

This error is coming up due to the way your GL account was defined. GL accounts are master data and you can use transaction code FS00 to change it. The fields that you are going to look at is on the "Control Data" tab. Fields "Tax Category" and "Posting without tax allowed" are the ones that result in this error.

But before you change, please check with your business and functional people to see if the account is set up correctly or not. If the account is set up correctly, then you may be using the wrong account.
