It's hilarious to see a continuing discussion of "serious tax issue", VAT invoices and the like. Some people, who would normally be disinclined ever to believe a single word that BA says, see this email breakdown and suddenly adhere to the notion that the statement must be both accurate and an indication of nefarious goings-on within the company.

OK so various taxes, fees and surcharges have codes assigned to them. GB - APD, YQ = BA profit fee etc eyc
However these codes aren't necessarily a standard list so one country /airline can give a two letter code to a charge that gets translated to some other (often previous) meaning that dosen't always reflect the current version.
So it is perfectly possible that ZF was used by BA eons ago for one purpose but that no longer reflects it's current usage.

Probably a transcription error by BA’s website people.

I think people should stop arguing about this, that, and the other, and simply unite and agree on it being a "BA IT error" that described ZF as "lounge access VAT". It's not unusual as we know
