CSV exports
Summary CSV versus detailed TaxPack exports
The three free CSV downloads describe different levels of the same recorded WooCommerce events.
Inspect the source record
Open the TaxPack report screen and identify the summary, tax-line, and order/refund download buttons before choosing one.
Build a focused report
Download all three from the same visible report and keep their period, address, status, and mapping metadata together.
Read the result
Use summary rows for province/type totals, tax-line rows for rate allocations, and order/refund rows for source-event context.
A concrete example
A summary net tax of CAD 40 may be backed by several tax-line rows and one order/refund row, not three separate CAD 40 amounts.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not concatenate the files and sum every numeric column. Their rows are different views, not additive datasets.
