Refund review
Manual WooCommerce refunds and the payment record
A manual refund entry in WooCommerce does not by itself prove that funds returned through a gateway.
Inspect the source record
Inspect the order notes and gateway records alongside the WooCommerce refund object. Keep payment evidence separate from tax lines.
Build a focused report
Use TaxPack to report the stored refund tax on its own date, and label the result as recorded WooCommerce data.
Read the result
The order/refund CSV explains the event and tax lines; it does not reconcile processor settlement or confirm money reached the shopper.
A concrete example
A manager can mark a refund manually while the payment provider still needs a separate action; both records require review.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not use a TaxPack refund row as proof of a completed bank refund or of the correct tax treatment.
