Report periods
Why a midnight order appears on a different report day
The store timezone, not a UTC email timestamp, determines the local date used by TaxPack.
Inspect the source record
Compare the order's creation time in WooCommerce with the timezone configured under WordPress settings.
Build a focused report
Select the local calendar date on TaxPack's form and inspect event_date_local in the order/refund CSV.
Read the result
An event near UTC midnight can belong to the preceding or following local date; the export includes timezone metadata.
A concrete example
A UTC timestamp early on October 2 can still be October 1 in an Alberta store.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not relabel the event by your computer's timezone or the payment processor's reporting timezone.
