If you remove an entire line for example the line "*PER\_UNIT=" each"*" you'll just have the word **PER\_UNIT** displaid instead of the translation word **EACH**. 2. No, I think that you won't loose anything.

We use the Enterprise version and I've located three files which I believe responsible for the generation of the user Emails: order_creation_notification.html.php order_creation_notification.preload.php order_creation_notification.text.php But, I could not find the line to modify.

You'll want to edit the "preload" at the bottom of the email edition. The tax line(s) is added with that code: Code: foreach($data->cart->order_tax_info as $tax) { $cartFooters[] = array( 'NAME' => $tax->tax_namekey, 'VALUE' => $currencyHelper->format($tax->tax_amount,$data->cart->order_currency_id) ); } Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzU0MTQ2LXJlbW92ZS12YXQtZnJvbS1lbWFpbC1jb25maXJtYXRpb25zP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[theguy](/forum/user/32584-theguy "View theguy's Profile")** - [![theguy's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/32584-theguy "View theguy's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/32584-theguy) Less More - Posts: 228 - Thank you received: 8 - - 9 years 6 days ago [\#281129](#281129) by [theguy](/forum/user/32584-theguy "View theguy's Profile") Replied by *[theguy](/forum/user/32584-theguy "View theguy's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Remove VAT from email confirmations](/forum/4-how-to/54146-remove-vat-from-email-confirmations#281129 "The email confirmations that the customer receives and the vendor have a Total with Vat and a Total without Vat.
