By default, the report shows all taxes collected during the selected period. To compare tax codes:

  1. Open the Show menu and select Comparison.
  2. Search for and add the tax codes you want to compare.
  3. Select Compare.

You can also select tax-code rows in the table and then select Compare. Use the search field above the table to narrow the displayed tax codes, including by a partial code.

Read the taxes table

↑ Back to top

The table contains these columns:

  • Tax code
  • Rate
  • Total tax
  • Order tax
  • Shipping tax
  • Taxable amount
  • Orders

Taxable amount is the net value of order items, fees, and shipping to which a tax rate applied. For compound rates, it also includes the taxes on which that rate is calculated.

Taxes report table showing Shipping tax of zero dollars, Taxable amount of 100 dollars, and one order.
Taxable amount appears before Orders in the taxes table.

WooCommerce shows N/A when the taxable amount is unavailable, such as for older Analytics data recorded before amounts were stored or for a manual tax line. In a CSV export, that cell is empty. A displayed zero is a known zero amount. To learn about rebuilding older Analytics tax data, see WooCommerce System Tools.

Select a column heading to sort the table. Select a tax code to open the Orders report filtered to orders that used that code.
