Refund review
Read a full WooCommerce refund in a tax report
A full refund is a separate recorded event whose tax should be read with its own date and sign.
Inspect the source record
Open the WooCommerce order's refund section and inspect the refund record, its creation date, refunded items, and stored tax lines.
Build a focused report
Include the refund date in a TaxPack period and review its event separately from the original order's event.
Read the result
Refund tax keeps the sign stored by WooCommerce. The report's refund_tax_signed column shows its effect on net recorded tax.
A concrete example
An order created in August and fully refunded in October contributes the order to an August period and the refund to an October period.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not erase the original order row or subtract a negative refund twice. Preserve the two event dates in the handoff.
