CSV exports
Preserve exact tax decimals in a spreadsheet
A spreadsheet can display fewer decimal places than TaxPack exported, hiding small differences during reconciliation.
Inspect the source record
Inspect the raw CSV value and the spreadsheet cell format before concluding that TaxPack rounded a stored amount.
Build a focused report
Import numeric tax columns with sufficient decimal precision while keeping IDs and labels as text.
Read the result
TaxPack's Money arithmetic preserves supported stored precision up to eight decimal places; the display format of a spreadsheet is separate.
A concrete example
A value exported as 1.23456789 can appear as 1.23 under a two-decimal cell format without changing the original CSV.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not overwrite the original export with a rounded spreadsheet version when an exact audit trail matters.
