Tax-rate mapping
Handle two WooCommerce rates with the same label
Duplicate tax labels make a summary ambiguous unless the underlying rate IDs are reviewed separately.
Inspect the source record
Inspect each rate ID in the WooCommerce tax tables and sample order lines. Note country, province, class, and the period each ID was used.
Build a focused report
Map each verified rate ID in TaxPack rather than selecting one category for every row with the same label.
Read the result
The detailed CSV exposes both stored_label and rate_id. Use those columns to explain why identically named lines may land in different groups.
A concrete example
A store may have two Tax lines with different IDs after an import; the display text alone does not prove they are the same tax.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not merge rows or auto-fill the mapping by label. Leave an uncertain ID UNMAPPED until its source configuration is checked.
