Magento 2: Custom tax not beign sent to paypal

I am adding custom tax based on a particular shipping and payment method using the following plugin:

use MagentoCustomerApiDataAddressInterfaceFactory as CustomerAddressFactory;
use MagentoCustomerApiDataRegionInterfaceFactory as CustomerAddressRegionFactory;
use MagentoQuoteApiDataShippingAssignmentInterface;
use MagentoQuoteModelQuoteAddress;

class Tax extends MagentoTaxModelSalesTotalQuoteTax
{
  /**

Paypal is not accepting this amount. When I click place order it redirects to the paypal site and after entering the payment it redirects back to the order review page with an error: ‘PayPal NVP gateway errors: This transaction couldn’t be completed. Please redirect your customer to PayPal’.
