You'll get a match only if the country of the first Billcode
element matches. You could have the key match Billcode
elements and walk up to the desired ancestor unless this gives
you spurious matches:

  <xsl:key name="bc" match="Billcode"
     use="normalize-space(@Country)"/>
...
     select="key('cc',normalize-space($cty))/ancestor::Corporation"

If spurious matches happen, well, how to avoid them depends
heavily on your problem...
