WooCommerce tax settings
Investigate a small WooCommerce tax rounding difference
WooCommerce can round at line or subtotal level, so visible prices and stored tax detail can differ slightly.
Inspect the source record
Check the store's rounding setting and inspect the source order's line taxes, subtotal, and displayed totals.
Build a focused report
Run a focused TaxPack report and compare recorded_event_tax with tax_line_total and the flagged difference.
Read the result
TaxPack preserves exact stored precision and reports a mismatch; it does not smooth cents across other orders to make a total agree.
A concrete example
If several line taxes have fractions of a cent, the final order display may not equal a hand calculation using a single rounded percentage.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not hide or distribute a difference by silent rounding. Verify the underlying WooCommerce setting and source lines.
