How to read a TaxPack tax-line CSV

The tax-line CSV is the place to inspect stored rate IDs, labels, mapped types, and item-level tax components.

Inspect the source record

Choose one flagged or representative source order and compare its WooCommerce tax line with the export's rate_id and stored_label.

Build a focused report

Download the tax-line CSV from the same TaxPack period and mapping revision as the summary you are reviewing.

Read the result

Use non_shipping_tax, shipping_tax, total_tax, item_tax_detail, and fee_tax_detail to explain the recorded line without adding the components twice.

A concrete example

A tax line with CAD 8 product tax and CAD 2 shipping tax can show CAD 10 total tax and CAD 2 shipping tax detail.

Avoid this mistaken conclusion

Do not treat each component column as another tax liability. The line's total already includes its components.
