Refund review
Trace tax on a partial WooCommerce refund
A partial refund may reverse only selected item or shipping tax lines rather than the whole order's tax.
Inspect the source record
Open the refund under its parent order and compare refunded line items and tax with the original order's stored details.
Build a focused report
Report a period containing the refund's own date, then inspect its tax-line CSV rows and signed refund amount.
Read the result
TaxPack reports the tax actually allocated in the refund. It does not derive a fraction from the refunded payment amount.
A concrete example
A refund of one item from a three-item order should not be treated as reversal of every original tax line.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not calculate a guessed proportional tax allocation in the report. Review any absent refund tax detail at the source.
