Magento – How to remove TOTAL EXCL TAX from cart review page

cartcheckoutorderstax

In Magento by default the review page displays the Cart TOTAL EXCL TAX and Cart TOTAL INCL TAX.

Due to the way I've configured Magento (everything including tax), the EXCL TAX and INCL TAX values are identical (which could be confusing for customers).

Does anyone know of a way to remove the EXCL TAX line from the cart review page?
(I can't seem to find a configuration option for it anywhere).

Found how to do this (programatically)....

Under {magento_base}/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/tax/checkout/

Edit file grandtotal.phtml
(I suggest you make a backup of the file just in case).

Find the line:

<?php if ($this->includeTax() && $this->getTotalExclTax()>=0):?>

Delete the subsequent lines:

<tr>
    <td style="<?php echo $this->getStyle() ?>" class="a-right" colspan="<?php echo $this->getColspan(); ?>">
        <strong><?php echo $this->helper('tax')->__('Grand Total Excl. Tax')?></strong>
    </td>
    <td style="<?php echo $this->getStyle() ?>" class="a-right">
        <strong><?php echo $this->helper('checkout')->formatPrice($this->getTotalExclTax()) ?></strong>
    </td>
</tr>

This change means it will now only show the tax inclusive line in the cart review.

Hope this helps someone else!

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

Tax Calculation Method Based On: Totals
Display Shipping Prices: Excluding Tax
Display Subtotal: Excluding Tax
Display Shipping Amount: Excluding Tax
Include Tax In Grand Total: No
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%].
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

Remove Taxes from Quote Item Programmatically in Magento

I've managed to solve my problem by following this thread : Modify tax rate on cart quote items and recalculate

I have added an Observer to the event sales_quote_collect_totals_before.

And here is the content of my observer, very simple :

public function removetax($observer)
{
    $customer_id = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getId();
    $customer = Mage::getModel("customer/customer")->load($customer_id);

    if($customer->getIsTaxExempt() == 1)
    {
        $items = $observer->getEvent()->getQuote()->getAllVisibleItems();
        foreach($items as $item)
            $item->getProduct()->setTaxClassId(0);
    }
}

Explanation : I load the current customer object in order to access the is_tax_exempt attribute. If customer is tax exempt, I grab the current cart content and for each item, I set the product tax class to 0. It is mandatory to not save the product or the item. The aim here is to set a value for the following calculation, not to save it in the database. Tax classes need to stay to the initial value in the db.

So by setting the tax class for this event, the following calculation will use the information setted in the observer. This seems to be a very clean method to achieve my first problem.
