Can I get rid of...")* It's probably the namekey that you configured for your tax rate. Go in the System>Taxes menu. There, click on the "manage rates" button. There, create a new tax rate and enter the text you want instead of "VAT" in the namekey and the percentage of the tax rate. Then, go back to the main System>Taxes menu, and edit your tax rule. In its "tax rate" setting, select that new tax rate you just created instead of the old "VAT" tax rate and save. Also, it could come from some translation texts. So you can go to the HikaShop configuration page, under the Languages tab, edit your language file, and there you can search for the "VAT" text and replace it in translations.

This may sound like a stupid idea, however, given that VAT is only a EURO tax, why dont you make it easier to switch off instead of people having to search and replace in the languages tab Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQwLXRheGVzLzkwODk5MS1ob3ctdG8tZ2V0LXJpZC1vZi12YXQ/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Away](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86323 - Thank you received: 14284 - - 1 year 10 months ago [\#365059](#365059) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[How to get rid of VAT](/forum/40-taxes/908991-how-to-get-rid-of-vat#365059 "How do I get rid of VAT everywhere.

It's just that no one from Australia gave us such feedback yet. And we're not familiar with the naming of tax rates in each country of the world. I've adapted the en-AU language file to make sure it uses GST instead of VAT. Thanks for your feedback.
