Showing GST(tax) number on all invoices

I would like to put my company's GST/tax number on all invoices/packing slips, but i cant seem to find how to do it anywhere!

Just one line under the company name/address that says "GST #: 00-000-000" I tried including it in the 'store address and phone' section in the admin which worked great - except that it also shows in my 'contact us' page :s

My zencart version is v1.3.9.d.

Thanks in advance! :)

Re: Showing GST(tax) number on all invoices

I find that the quickest way to do that is to just include it as part of the Tax Description when setting up the tax rate. That way it shows up directly next to the tax amount on the invoice.
Making that change will affect all orders placed after making the change.

Otherwise you'll have to edit several PHP files to hack in your own custom text, and then maintain it during each upgrade.

Re: Showing GST(tax) number on all invoices

thanks DrByte but nvm, after playing around with the settings for a bit i finally found a (indirect) way to do it.

in case someone else wants to know heres how i did it:

-set 'Contact Us - Show Store Name and Address' to 0 in configuration>email options.
-added the store name/address manually via define pages editor
-added 'GST#: xx-xxx-xxx' to the end of my store name/address in configuration>my store

its working how i want it to so far /fingers crossed :laugh:
