This is a longstanding glitch. BA uses a set of standard codes for the taxes and a look up table. Though BA quickly updates the correct fees, it doesn't always correct the look up table which sometimes picks up an old table description. A data error if you like, but not one that adversely affects you in error.

In this specific case code LJ is "Sweden Aviation Tax (LJ)" which started on 3 April 2018 with a view to reducing emissions. It's similar to APD and goes from 60 SEK for domestic to 400 SEK.
