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
- 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
- Which jurisdiction triggered each tax amount 3. Gives Your Accountant What They Need Export audit-ready reports in seconds:
- Summary reports by country and state
- Detailed order-level tax breakdowns (CSV, Excel-compatible)
- Issue reports for your review and resolution
- 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.
- 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
- WooCommerce Core tax rates (manual rates)
- WooCommerce Tax (automated taxes via TaxJar)
- TaxJar plugin
- Avalara AvaTax
- Any other tax plugin or custom calculation
- WordPress 5.8 or higher
- WooCommerce 5.0 or higher
- PHP 7.4 or higher

常见问题:
Does TaxDebug change how my taxes are calculated?
No. TaxDebug is completely non-intrusive. It only observes and logs tax calculation data — it never modifies tax amounts or rates. Think of it as a read-only audit tool.
What data does TaxDebug store?
TaxDebug stores:
- Order IDs and dates
- Customer shipping/billing addresses (country, state, city, postcode only)
- Order totals and tax amounts
- Applied tax rates and calculation details TaxDebug does NOT store payment information or sensitive personal data.
Does TaxDebug send data to external servers?
TaxDebug uses a cloud-based analysis service (api.taxdebug.com) to provide intelligent tax issue detection. This service:
- Receives order tax data (amounts, rates, locations) for analysis
- Returns detected issues (e.g., rate mismatches, missing taxes)
- Does NOT store personally identifiable customer information
- Does NOT require an account or API key All other data (logs, settings, feedback) is stored locally in your WordPress database. For privacy details, see our Privacy Policy.
How long is data retained?
By default, data is retained for 12 months. You can configure this in Settings (3, 6, 12, or 24 months, or forever).
Can I analyze orders that were created before installing TaxDebug?
Yes! Go to Settings and use the "Analyze Past Orders" tool to retroactively check your existing order history for tax issues.
What are "reference rate checks"?
TaxDebug includes approximate tax rate data for US states, Canadian provinces, and EU countries. It compares your effective tax rates against these references to detect potential mismatches — so you can catch under-collection or over-collection early. This can be disabled in Settings.
Can I export reports for my accountant?
Yes! TaxDebug exports three types of CSV reports: summary by country/state, detailed order-level breakdowns, and detected issues. All CSV files are Excel-compatible and can be shared directly with your accountant or bookkeeper.
What tax plugins does TaxDebug work with?
TaxDebug works with WooCommerce Core tax rates, WooCommerce Tax (automated taxes via TaxJar), the TaxJar plugin, Avalara AvaTax, and any other WooCommerce tax calculation method. It simply observes the taxes that were applied — it doesn't care how they were calculated.
Will TaxDebug slow down my store?
No. TaxDebug logs tax data asynchronously after orders are placed. It does not intercept or modify the checkout process in any way, so there is zero impact on your store's performance or customer experience.
