Reconciliation
Reconcile shipping tax without adding it twice
TaxPack shows shipping tax as an included component so reviewers can explain a net tax amount.
Inspect the source record
Open a source order's shipping line and tax detail to see which stored tax line contains the shipping component.
Build a focused report
Read net_tax and shipping_tax_included together in the summary and inspect shipping_tax in the tax-line CSV.
Read the result
The included shipping number is already part of net tax; it is a disclosure, not another amount due.
A concrete example
A group with CAD 30 net tax and CAD 4 shipping tax included still has CAD 30 net tax, not CAD 34.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not sum the shipping component on top of net tax or subtract it again without a specific separate analysis.
