REMOVING VAT FROM INVOICE

How would I remove this total with vat and without, I just want it to be the Total nothing esle. thanks.

$22.00 1 $22.00
Shipping method : $8.27
TOTAL without VAT : $30.27
TOTAL with VAT : $30.27
Billing address

To remove the total without VAT line, you need to edit your emails via the menu System->Emails (Business edition only) and remove the line:
if($data->cart->full_total->prices[0]->price_value!=$data->cart->full_total->prices[0]->price_value_with_tax) echo '<tr><td colspan="4" style="text-align:right">'.JText::sprintf('TOTAL_WITHOUT_VAT',$currencyHelper->format($data->cart->full_total->prices[0]->price_value,$data->order_currency_id)).'</td></tr>';

For the TOTAL with VAT, you can just change the code: TOTAL_WITH_VAT to TOTAL there.

whyyy no way to do it with essentials????? There has to be a back coding to send out the email.

The emails are located in the media/com_hikashop/mail folder. So you can do it there, but you will loose your modifications when you update if you don't do it via the interface so make sure that you backup your changes.

What File?

Wait, you're talking about the invoice that you can print on the back end ? Or the invoice that your customers can print on the front end ? In both cases you should be able to do that change via the menu Display->Views by editing the corresponding view file ( order/invoice.php and order/show.php ).
Or you're really talking about the emails sent by HikaShop ? If that's the case, the name of the files in that folder should be obvious... order_creation_notification for the notification sent when the order is created. order_status_notification for the notification sent when the status of the order is changed. etc

Hi Nicholas, I found those VAT files, to change to GST in the language file.

My modifications in the bottom section were to be:
PRICE_AFTER_TAX=" excl GST) "
VAT="GST"
TOTAL_WITHOUT_VAT="TOTAL without GST : %s"
TOTAL_WITH_VAT="TOTAL with GST : %s"

However, if I just open that language file, and make no modifications, then Save it, it says "Saved successfully".

If I add my mods to the bottom file, and try to save it, my browser says "uploading.... then gets to 93%" then fails and "cannot display web page" comes up in the small popup language box.

In other words, it won't let me save it.

Any suggestions? There shouldn't be any strange permissions on that file, as I havent modified anything like that.

Is there any other way of editing that language file, including putting the edits in that new "special" part that won't get overiden when upgrading.

Hi,

That probably happens because the file languages/overrides/en-GB.override.ini cannot be written. You should check the permissions of that file if it exists and if not the permissions of its folder.
You can also create that file manually via FTP if you want.

THx Nicolas. I changed the permissions, then just edited the file via ftp.

I have read several of the posts but am not sure if they are what I want. I want to remove the "Vat" line from my invoice.

I have attached a picture. I thought it was in the view order / invoice of my backend template... but not sure what to comment out to get rid of that line.

Hi,

It is strange, you have a "negative zero" in your invoice.
You can edit the view "checkout | invoice" and edit the lines: By (if you want to remove the line if "near" zero): Or by (if you want to remove the line completely):
Regards,

I don't have the view "checkout|invoice" but I did this on the "order|invoice" and it worked perfectly thanks!

Hi Nicolas, I am trying to get this working in Australia where we do no have VAT but GST. The invoice gets created with the Total with VAT and gives an amount, but this amount is the price with the shipping added. it does not add the GST to the total. I would also like to get rid of the word VAT as this is confusing. I would be happy if I could substitute the word VAT with GST. I tried adding an override in the language file as suggested above, but this has not made a change with or without the override. Another suggestion is to edit the Views>checkout | invoice. I have looked, and my version doesn't seem to have, either invoice or order in the views, any suggestions? This should not be an issue after all this time, Regards

Hi,

Your question is not related to the "VAT" in the invoice but to the "VAT" in the email.
Please create a new thread for that question which is different that the original one (and which is 4 years old).
