How TaxDebug for WooCommerce works
Show full descriptionShow less
Are your WooCommerce taxes actually correct?
If you’re using WooCommerce Tax, TaxJar, or Avalara to calculate sales tax automatically, you’re trusting a black box with your compliance. But what happens when it gets it wrong?
A customer in Ohio gets charged $0 tax — and you don’t find out until quarter-end
WooCommerce Tax under-collects county-level tax on 200 orders before you notice
Your effective rate suddenly drops and you have no idea why
Your accountant asks “how was this tax calculated?” and you have no answer
TaxDebug for WooCommerce is your tax safety net. It watches every order, detects problems automatically, and gives you the audit trail your accountant needs.
What TaxDebug Does For You
1. Catches Tax Mistakes Automatically
Our Issue Detection Engine scans every order and flags:
* Zero tax collected where tax was expected
* Tax charged in non-taxable regions (customers complaining about overcharges)
* Rate mismatches vs. reference rates
* Missing local/county/city taxes
* Tax amount changes between cart and checkout
* Suspected API errors from your tax service
2. Shows You Exactly How Every Order Was Taxed
Stop guessing. For every order, TaxDebug shows you:
* Which tax service calculated the rates (WooCommerce Core, WooCommerce Tax, TaxJar, Avalara)
* The exact tax rates applied at line-item level
* Full calculation breakdowns so you can verify accuracy
* Filter by date range, country, state, tax source, and more
4. Beautiful Dashboard at a Glance
* KPI cards: total tax collected, taxable sales, effective rates
* Interactive charts: tax by state, country, and over time
* One-click issue identification — see which orders need attention
5. 100% Safe — Never Touches Your Tax Calculations
TaxDebug only observes and reports. It does NOT modify how taxes are calculated, does NOT interfere with your existing tax setup, and works alongside any tax plugin.
Who Is TaxDebug For?
Store owners who use automated tax services and want to trust but verify
Accountants and bookkeepers who need detailed tax breakdowns for filings
Agency managers who manage multiple WooCommerce stores and need tax oversight
Anyone who has been burned by a tax calculation error and doesn’t want it to happen again
