I am looking to completely remove any tax calculation from the cart page. I would like tax calculation to only happen at the end of the process on the final checkout page. I have looked at the .phtml files in /template/cart/totals.phtml but haven't found a way to edit them to remove the tax. Ideally I would like the totals to read as following

Product Order: $xxx
Shipping & Handling: $xx
sub-total:
$xxx

So instead of a "grand total" at the end there is just a sub-total of everything except tax.

Any ideas?
Thanks

If I understand you correctly you want show taxes only on the checkout page.
To do that you have to change settings in the same section as author of previous answer has stated - just alot more options as you have to change whole calculation process.

Go to Configuration > Sales Section > Tax

1. Tax Calculation Method Based On: Totals




2. Display Shipping Prices: Excluding Tax




3. Display Subtotal: Excluding Tax




4. Display Shipping Amount: Excluding Tax




5. Include Tax In Grand Total: No




6. Display full tax summary: No - Don't display specific tax values for specific rates. Don't let users expand tax to see what made the grand tax in separated values [i.e. tax for shipping, tax for products 21%].




7. Display Zero Tax Subtotal - No - If there's a 0 tax value should users see it anyway on subtotal summary?

Additionaly It may require changing template files in:

app/design/theme/package/tax/checkout/subtotal.phtml
app/design/theme/package/tax/checkout/grandtotal.phtml
app/design/theme/package/tax/checkout/tax.phtml

Just found this answer on another thread of the site: it works perfectly.

Under magento_base/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/tax/checkout/

Edit file grandtotal.phtml
(I suggest you make a backup of the file just in case).

Find the line:

Delete the subsequent lines:

<tr>
 <td style="<?php echo $this->getStyle() ?>" class="a-right" colspan="<?php echo $this->getColspan(); ?>">
 <strong><?php echo $this->helper('tax')->__('Grand Total Excl. Tax')?></strong>
 </td>
 <td style="<?php echo $this->getStyle() ?>" class="a-right">
 <strong><?php echo $this->helper('checkout')->formatPrice($this->getTotalExclTax()) ?></strong>
 </td>
</tr>

This takes care of the grand total part.

For tax,

Check this link:

The totals are displayed automatically from certain rows in the quote and the file that does so also does that for other pages.

Now we could come up with some fancy technical solution but in your case I would try to fix it with CSS.

Since you just want some cosmetic change just hide the tax and grandtotal row with something like display:none and you're done

you can managed this settign from admin

Go to admin>System>Configuration>Sales>Tax>Shopping Cart Display Settings

make Display Subtotal=Excluding Tax

you can managed tax display setting on cart page,from here admin>System>Configuration>Sales>Tax>Shopping Cart Display Setting

1.To Disable the tax row go to your theme > Magento_Tax/layout/checkout_index_index.xml and checkout_cart_index.xml then add the lines:

<referenceBlock name="checkout.cart.totals">
 <arguments>
 <argument name="jsLayout" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="components" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="block-totals" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="children" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="tax" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="componentDisabled" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </argument>
 </arguments>
 </referenceBlock>

Disabling an item using this way only hides it from view but still loaded in the query. If you want to completely remove it from page load then follow the documentation stated in the above link.
