WooCommerce tax settings
Review shipping tax class in a report
WooCommerce's shipping tax class setting affects checkout calculations before TaxPack reads the completed order.
Inspect the source record
Inspect WooCommerce → Settings → Tax for Shipping tax class and inspect a source order's shipping and tax lines.
Build a focused report
Generate a TaxPack report containing the order and review shipping_tax_included next to the net recorded tax.
Read the result
Shipping tax is already part of the recorded tax total in TaxPack; the shipping component is displayed to explain the total.
A concrete example
If a shipping line has tax of CAD 2, that CAD 2 is included in net tax and separately disclosed as shipping tax included.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not add shipping_tax_included on top of net_tax or change shipping classes merely to alter an old report.
