Hi there,

Just finished our site using the creator. We have listed all our prices including VAT. Only prob we have now is that on the 'view cart' it still says 'taxes 0.00' - obviously this is incorrect as its inclusive.
Any way of removing this line??

PS I have the cart creator also but couldn't seem to do it from there!!!

Thanks

All that is done in Shopping Cart Creator under the Shipping tab I think from memory.

Unfortunately, there's not a way to make the taxes not appear at all.

You can't remove it, but you can hide it with css

I had to check it... add this to the bottom of the css/default.css file

scs_cart_subtotals_label scs_cart_subtotals_value{display:none;}

Damian, is the VAT you referred to a Value Added Tax? If so, what country are you in? a VAT has been suggested by some of our (United States) politicians as a good source of revenue. Does it, the VAT, have a negative impact on your sales? Does it require lots of extra paperwork. Is a VAT paid at every level of production?
Thanks

Sally, I am in the UK, and yes, VAT is Value Added Tax. This is an indirect tax that is charged in all of Europe. Here in the UK VAT is charged on most goods and services, and every person or company with a turnover above a certain amount (think its 65K) has to register. The standard rate is 17.5% and we have to charge this on every sale. We also pay this tax on all our purchases. Every 3 month we send the difference between input and output to the VAT man.
When we supply to the trade who is also registered for VAT, we would quote the net price + VAT, but when selling to the public we would quote the inclusive price, because the consumer will not be able to claim the VAT back.
To prepare a VAT return used to be a lot of paper work (when we had to do our books without computers), but all accounting software allows for the VAT and we can do or returns by a click of the mouse.
Back to the "taxes" line in the cart, it is actually incorrect in our case to say that the taxes are 0, the total is inclusive of VAT. But we would prefer not to quote net prices and add the taxes in the cart, as most of our customers are end users. End users would not expect to be quoted net, they would expect that the price they see is the price they pay.
Thanks, Dave, I will try that

Hi Dave, we have tried adding the line you kindly gave us. Unfortunately we can't seem to get it to work!
We copied & pasted the line directly to the bottom of the css default file on the server - it didn't seem to like it !
Have we done it correctly or could you give us a little more info? Should there be a # before the line?
Thanks in advance:)

sorry about that.. They have a (.) in front of each one,, dot is for class="" ,, # is for id=""

.scs_cart_subtotals_label .scs_cart_subtotals_value{display:none;}

If you use Firefox with Firebug you can right click any element on the page and choose "inspect element", that will show you the css for that element.
