Need to remove TAX TOTAL as a matter of URGENCY!!!!!

[Gary]

Our website visitors think that the Tax Total is an ADDITIONAL cost!

This is causing us BIG problems.

How is this STUPID tax total removed?

Thank You.

I think I see where you are getting the tax total confusion and I want to remedy this as well for my customers as it can seem confusing :)

go to components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/basket/basket_b2c.html.php

line 72:
[code]<?php if ( $show_tax ) { ?>
  <tr class="sectiontableentry1">
        <td colspan="4" align="right" valign="top"><?php echo $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_ORDER_PRINT_TOTAL_TAX') ?>: </td>
        <td colspan="3" align="right""><?php echo $tax_display ?></td>
  </tr>
<?php } ?>
either remove this entry or change the label to "Price includes GST of:" in administrator/components/com_virtuemart/languages/common/english.php

line 122:
'PHPSHOP_ORDER_PRINT_TOTAL_TAX' => 'Tax Total',
'PHPSHOP_ORDER_PRINT_TOTAL_TAX' => 'Price includes GST of:',

Careful as I believe there is shipping tax as well and the changed tax total message may get confusing.

also change the following:

go to components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/basket/ro_basket_b2c.html.php

line 91:

Code: [Select]

<?php if ( $show_tax ) { ?>
  <tr class="sectiontableentry1">
        <td colspan="4" align="right" valign="top"><?php echo $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_ORDER_PRINT_TOTAL_TAX') ?>: </td>
        <td colspan="3" align="right""><?php echo $tax_display ?></td>
  </tr>
<?php } ?>
remove this entry

go to components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/pages/account.order_details.tpl.php

line 447:

Code: [Select]

  <?php
  if ($auth["show_price_including_tax"] == 1) {
  ?>
       
        <tr>
          <td colspan="3" align="right">&nbsp;</td>
          <td colspan="2" align="right"><hr/></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td colspan="4" align="right"><?php echo $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_ORDER_PRINT_TOTAL_TAX') ?> :</td>
          <td align="right"><?php 

          echo $CURRENCY_DISPLAY->getFullValue($tax_total, '', $db->f('order_currency'));
  
            ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
        </tr>
<?php
  }
  ?>   
Personally, I just put the tax total above the Final Total to ensure that my customers know that GST is included within the sale

Just wait till the fun of modifying the statement at the end or the invoice email to a more standardised MYOB/Quicken invoice look hahaha - oh the joy [/code]

This reply is very nice, I would like just to add one question.

I want to remove: Tax Total and Shipping and Handling Fee

and to change: Shipping Tax to static text: Shipping cost pays by customer


Please help me to solve this

Thanks
