CSV exports
Read TaxPack's date and timezone CSV metadata
A CSV date range is ambiguous if the store timezone and event-date rule are lost during sharing.
Inspect the source record
Open the store timezone setting and verify one order's local creation date against the period you selected.
Build a focused report
Keep period_start, period_end, timezone, and event_date_local columns with every working copy of the export.
Read the result
TaxPack uses inclusive store-local dates for orders and each refund's own date; the export metadata lets another reviewer reproduce the selection.
A concrete example
An order near midnight UTC can appear on the previous local date in an Alberta store, making timezone metadata important.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not compare a TaxPack local-date period with a UTC processor statement as if their boundaries match automatically.
