VAT summary in checkout

hello all , just setting up a shop , and cant seem to get the VAT the way I want it !

First off a real minor thing , if I have a product for net £10 i would like it to say £11.75 inc VAT on the store . I have done this before , but can't remember where to set it.

then in the checkout at the moment it looks like this. :-

Sub-Total: £11.75

Flat Rate (Best Way): £4.95

VAT 17.5%: £1.75

TOTAL : £16.70

Is there an easy way to have it say Sub Total £10 , so the figures add up ?

Thanks.

I also have this problem, it is annoying on the invoices also. You can turn off the taxes on the site in the admin area (configuration :: my store :: Display Prices with Tax), this does repair the calculation, but this doesn't realy help, since you probably want to include tax on the site instead of showing it without it.

I too would like a solution to this. Checkout summary says:

**```
Items 11.75
Shipping 11.75
VAT 3.50
Total 23.50

Which is all very confusing! At the very least I would like
**
Which includes VAT of 3.50**

Any ideas anyone?

This is exactly what I am searching for also.. If it's not possible, please inform us...

Probably here ... includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/shopping_cart.php around line 19.

If not, use admin>tools>developer toolkit to locate the occurrences of VAT in the language files and edit the relevant ones.

No, that does not work for me. Sorry, it only has the Total line.

define('SUB_TITLE_SUB_TOTAL', 'Sub-Total:');
define('SUB_TITLE_TOTAL', 'Total:');

So I guess the VAT comes from the name of the tax class I am using? Is tyhis the same for others? In which case we need to change how the total for each line is calculated. Ie not to include VAT so it adds up in a sensible fashion.

Either that or we need to tweak the file that does the output (using templates of course!) to add the extra text we need. I have a spare hour (amazing!) so i'll try and find out where that is.

Looking at the HTML I can see lineTitle larger forward for the css class. The only lines with this are:

Line #68 : <div class="lineTitle larger forward"><?php echo $order->totals[$i]['title'] ?></div>
 
Line #18 : <div class="lineTitle larger forward"><?php echo $GLOBALS[$class]->output[$i]['title']; ?></div>

And in there a comment says:

/* Displays order-totals modules' output

So I have changed the sort order for the Tax and Total using the admin area (Modules > Order Total). Tax is now 999 on my shop and Total is 888. This makes the Tax appear below the total which lessens the confusion. The only problem seems to be that historical orders do not get this new sort order but my shop is not live yet so it works for me. Hope this helps.

Cheers, D.

the WHAT´S NEW of 1.3.6 says:
"Bugfix: ot modules were not properly handling taxes when "tax in" pricing enabled"

Has this something to do with the subtotals and VAT (not) included.

In my test shop of 1.3.6 I still have the the subtotal including the VAT. Could I now change something in the admin? Or do I still have to make some changes to the code to have the subtotal excluding the VAT?
