Getting started
Run a one-day WooCommerce tax report test
A one-day test isolates date, status, and address settings before a full month introduces many different records.
Inspect the source record
Choose an order with a known local creation date. Record its current WooCommerce status and whether shipping or billing province is populated.
Build a focused report
Set From and Through to that local date, include the order's current status, and choose the address with the province you intend to review.
Read the result
Check the source event count and the order/refund CSV for that order ID. A missing row points first to the selected period or status, not to a tax-rate percentage.
A concrete example
An order created late on October 4 in the store timezone belongs to October 4 even if an external payment email arrived on October 5.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not use a one-day test to estimate a filing amount or infer that all other dates are clean. It is a control for the report's filters.
