In some places, have it with the VAT is mandatory, in some others, it's better without. So at one point we have to decide ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)") In any cases, that can easily be changed by editing the file "cart" of the view "checkout" via the menu Display->Views and changing the lines: if(bccomp($taxes,0,5)==0){ echo $this->currencyHelper->format(@$this->shipping->shipping_price,$this->shipping->shipping_currency_id); }else{ echo $this->currencyHelper->format(@$this->shipping->shipping_price_with_tax,$this->shipping->shipping_currency_id); } to: echo $this->currencyHelper->format(@$this->shipping->shipping_price,$this->shipping->shipping_currency_id); Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMtYnVnLXJlcG9ydC8zMzM3My12YXQtY2FsY3VsYXRpb24taXNzdWU/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[WebsiteDesignTenerife](/forum/user/5164-websitedesigntenerife "View WebsiteDesignTenerife's Profile")** - [![WebsiteDesignTenerife's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar5164.png)](/forum/user/5164-websitedesigntenerife "View WebsiteDesignTenerife's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/5164-websitedesigntenerife) Less More - Posts: 24 - Thank you received: 0 - - 14 years 10 months ago [\#33472](#33472) by [WebsiteDesignTenerife](/forum/user/5164-websitedesigntenerife "View WebsiteDesignTenerife's Profile") Replied by *[WebsiteDesignTenerife](/forum/user/5164-websitedesigntenerife "View WebsiteDesignTenerife's Profile")* on topic *[Re: VAT Calculation Issue](/forum/3-bug-report/33373-vat-calculation-issue#33472 "Hi This may be remedied easily but may also be a bug so thought it deserved to go here.

I wrote some PHP that took the shipping value, removed the VAT and stored that in a variable. Then I took the VAT and added this value so I had VAT including the shipping VAT. I then had to take the total value and add this value to that also. I guess from your post that I can do the same with Hika and then just save the file locally in case there's any later updates.
