Best Answer
If I understand you correctly you want to highlight what taxes are applied on cart totals.
What configuration did you have setup System>Configuration>Sales>Tax
Shopping Cart Display Settings and option:
Include Tax In Grand Total [STORE VIEW] Yes
Display Full Tax Summary [STORE VIEW] Yes
The name that's being displayed in frontend cart totals, are in Sales>Tax>Manage Tax Zone & Rates, then you edit the rate and at the bottom there are Tax Titles for each Store View.
If i understand you in a bad way - then do you want to display tax rate for shipping cost on estimated shipping cost block?
EDIT: Shipping cost tax percentage on cart page
This is kind of a hack, but I think you'll get an idea behind it and you can do whatever you want with it.
Go to /template/checkout/cart/shipping_method/available.html
Find around line ~59:
Above you can see how's shipping method cost is displayed on frontend. Try to add for testing purposes code like this:
Now above the variable $excluding gets estimated shipping cost without tax amount and converts it to float number format. Same goes for $including.
Then we subtract $excluding from $including and we have variable $taxamount which's the tax amount in number format. The rest is obvious I think.
I hope you'll find a better way to implement this solution – it's simplest, baddest hack in template file.
