Hi,

If you have only one tax rate, then you can change the "per unit" text that you have by default next to the price with a translation override in order to include that text:
www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify
That's for the products listing/product page.
On the checkout, you should already have the tax rate namekey next to the tax amount just before the total of the cart. So you can incldue the percentage in that namekey. If you already have a tax rate, you'll want to create another one with the name you want and then switch the tax rate to the new one in your tax rules via the menu System>Taxes.

no, i have set a store default tax rate for my base country. also i use different tax for normal products and reduced tax products. also the products are sold throughout the EU.
i need the store base tax (default tax or reduced) listed on the products (listings and detail views, also modules (checkout). so i think it is not possible to change the tax to a singe tax value.
the tax must checked from the defined tax rule of the main tax zone of the store, how is that possible. i assume it could be done with few clicks but i did not find it.

on this i need to display the "percentage" of the tax too. i looked at the namekey's, as you sad there are all the percentage values. now the question is how do i get the values displayed too and not only the namekey?

i find this very curious to display the tax percent are not done by default. because it is mostly a EU wide regulation how eCommerce has to be done.

Hello,

In the context of the product page, you have access to the product prices.
In these prices, you have the full detail of the taxes (for each price).

$this->element->prices[0]->taxes;
By reading the data in the first price, you can retrieve various elements such as the tax rate, the tax namekey, etc.

Afterwards, it would require a view override to put the PHP code where you want to display such information.

Do not hesitate to use the "display view files" advanced setting to know which view you want to override.
And also to use "var_dump" or "print_r" to get the details of a PHP variable.

Hi Jerome.
Thank you for your answer.

i tested some code variants based on your snippet, but could not get it to run for me.
i could manage the half way with this code snippet:

echo $tax->tax_rate;
but here I have a decimal problem on the percentage with that.

maybe you could guide me in the right direction where i have adjust the code on your sample to get the right percentage out?

i also noticed maybe some bug about the input form for the namekey on the taxes:

right now i can't change the namekeys for the taxes - is this intentional or a mistake on my website?

Hello,

The tip I gave you for the product page ; not the cart.
The cart already have code to display the taxes ; as Nicolas already wrote.

Please understand that it would require some PHP/Development skills ; if you cannot do it yourself, do not hesitate to contact someone.

Hello,

Once you created a tax, you cannot change its namekey.
The namekey is used in the cart/order tax details.

But you can use the translation system to change how that tax name will be display in the front-end (and backend).
