Tax-rate mapping

Check a GST or HST mapping against source lines

A rate name containing GST or HST is a clue, but the source order and rate ID should decide the reporting label.

Inspect the source record

Inspect the WooCommerce rate row and one order tax line that used it. Keep the order's stored amount separate from legal rate verification.

Build a focused report

Assign the reviewed rate ID to GST or HST in TaxPack, then compare the tax-line CSV and summary group for that order.

Read the result

A correct reporting mapping moves the recorded amount into the intended type group without recalculating the amount.

A concrete example

An Ontario HST-labelled line and a separate GST line on another order should remain separate types when their IDs support those labels.

Avoid this mistaken conclusion

Do not infer the type from a percentage or use this report to decide whether the store charged the legally required tax.
