Getting started
Your first WooCommerce tax report with TaxPack
A first report should answer one narrow question before you try to reconcile an entire year of store activity.
Inspect the source record
Open one recent completed order and note its creation date, currency, selected address, and actual tax lines. Check that the rate IDs are visible in WooCommerce tax settings.
Build a focused report
Map the rate IDs you have verified, choose a short period around that order, select its current status, and use the same address basis shown on the order.
Read the result
Look for that order's event ID in the summary and supporting CSVs. A visible source link is more useful for a first check than a plausible-looking grand total.
A concrete example
If one order created on October 2 has one stored GST line, a one-day October 2 report should let you trace that line to the order before expanding the range.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not assume a first report confirms tax compliance. It organizes recorded amounts; inspect flags and compare source orders before relying on the totals.
