How to display zero taxes

I have two tax categories: taxable and non-taxable. If an order has only non-taxable items, then there's no tax entry at checkout (the tax calculation result only appears when the order has a taxable item). Is it possible to have $0.00 appear when no tax is applied?

I know I can do this with another non-taxable rule for each zone, but this results in two tax entries: a zero and the usual non-zero when there are both non-taxable and taxable items at checkout. I'd like to be able to have that zero entry appear only when the checkout has non-taxable items.

Hi Nicolas,

That didn't seem to work. Sorry, I can't give you any more info other than the zero tax doesn't show up after making that change.

Hi Nicolas,

Yes, I'm as sure as I can be. After going to Display > Views, I select the template and 'Frontend' from the dropdown menus at the top right. I then edit the checkout/cart option (last line in the screen shot ZeroTax1.jpg), and make the change you suggested at line 185 (or so).

Regards,

Yes 'Detailed Tax Display' is enabled in Configuration > Display. The added tag also shows up on at checkout after editing the same file as before (see attached image). Still no zero tax.

Hi Jerome,

Thanks very much for the excellent support. One last thing on this thread... I'd like to have the taxes show above the shipping amount and below the total (because the shipping amount includes taxes). Let me know how I can switch those around.

Hi,

To Change the place of the elements, you have to edit the view "checkout / cart". Then cut and paste:

				if(bccomp($taxes,0,5)){
					if($this->config->get('detailed_tax_display') && isset($this->full_total->prices[0]->taxes)){
						foreach($this->full_total->prices[0]->taxes as $tax){
													 ?>
								<tr>
									<?php if($this->params->get('show_cart_image')) echo '<td></td>'; ?>
									<td>
									</td>
									<td>
									</td>
									<td id="hikashop_checkout_cart_tax_title" class="hikashop_cart_tax_title hikashop_cart_title">
										<?php echo $tax->tax_namekey; ?>
									</td>
									<td class="hikashop_cart_tax_value">
										<span class="hikashop_checkout_cart_taxes">
										<?php
											echo $this->currencyHelper->format($tax->tax_amount,$this->full_total->prices[0]->price_currency_id);
										?>
										</span>
									</td>
								</tr>
						<?php
						}
					}else{

						 ?>
						<tr>
							<?php if($this->params->get('show_cart_image')) echo '<td></td>'; ?>
							<td>
							</td>
							<td>
							</td>
							<td id="hikashop_checkout_cart_tax_title" class="hikashop_cart_tax_title hikashop_cart_title">
								<?php echo JText::_('TAXES'); ?>
							</td>
							<td class="hikashop_cart_tax_value">
								<span class="hikashop_checkout_cart_taxes">
								<?php
									echo $this->currencyHelper->format($taxes,$this->full_total->prices[0]->price_currency_id);
								?>
								</span>
							</td>
						</tr>
				<?php }
				}?>

				if(!empty($this->shipping)){

Great! Thanks, Xavier.
