Magento – How to remove tax from cart page

carttax

I am looking to completely remove any tax calculation from the cart page. I would like tax calculation to only happen at the end of the process on the final checkout page. I have looked at the .phtml files in /template/cart/totals.phtml but haven't found a way to edit them to remove the tax. Ideally I would like the totals to read as following

Product Order: $xxx
Shipping & Handling: $xx
sub-total:
$xxx

So instead of a "grand total" at the end there is just a sub-total of everything except tax.

Any ideas?
Thanks

If I understand you correctly you want show taxes only on the checkout page. To do that you have to change settings in the same section as author of previous answer has stated - just alot more options as you have to change whole calculation process.

Go to Configuration > Sales Section > Tax

  1. Tax Calculation Method Based On: Totals

  2. Display Shipping Prices: Excluding Tax

  3. Display Subtotal: Excluding Tax

  4. Display Shipping Amount: Excluding Tax

  5. Include Tax In Grand Total: No

  6. Display full tax summary: No - Don't display specific tax values for specific rates. Don't let users expand tax to see what made the grand tax in separated values [i.e. tax for shipping, tax for products 21%].

  7. Display Zero Tax Subtotal - No - If there's a 0 tax value should users see it anyway on subtotal summary?

Additionaly It may require changing template files in:

app/design/theme/package/tax/checkout/subtotal.phtml
app/design/theme/package/tax/checkout/grandtotal.phtml
app/design/theme/package/tax/checkout/tax.phtml
