Removing Including $ in taxes

Topic summary

Goal: hide the “Including $ in taxes” line on the Shopify checkout without changing what taxes are charged.

What’s been tried/seen:

  • Changing Settings > Taxes and duties removed that line but introduced a different tax-related line. Screenshots show the original label and the new message after settings change.

Proposed approaches:

  • Use a Checkout UI Extension targeting the checkout footer (purchase-checkout-footer-render-after) to suppress that line visually. Editing checkout.liquid was mentioned but the extension path is recommended.
  • Consider translation keys to change or remove the wording, and review VAT/marketplace tax settings, overrides, and tax estimation settings via Shopify docs.

Latest updates:

  • A partner offered to deploy a Checkout UI Extension and sent implementation details via private message.
  • A link to a prior thread with a purported solution was shared for reference.

Caveats:

  • A reminder that hiding tax information may be legally required in some regions; removing it could be non-compliant.

Status:

  • No confirmed in-thread resolution. Next steps likely involve implementing the Checkout UI Extension or applying the referenced solution, mindful of legal requirements.

Could someone please help me with removing the ‘Including $ in taxes’ line from the checkout page. I have looked forever, but can’t seem to find it.

Hi @Tolunay ,

Is this something you tried to edit checkout.liquid? I think this would be something in Checkout UI Extension. The exact target area I’m not 100% though this looks like the right one

Check either VAT settings, or marketplace tax settings

Or overrides, also in some case see estimations

Hi @Tolunay

You may check in your store Settings > Tax and duties to remove tax on checkout.

Hi, this seems to remove the line, but now it creates another line. I don’t want them to pay extra taxes, just that the customer doesn’t see that line.

Hi @Tolunay ,

See the screenshot attached. Partners can deploy a checkout UI extension to your shop and target this area of checkout to remove the tax line.

Hi,

And how do i make that work? Could you explain step by step please

Hi @Tolunay ,

In general removing information about how a total cost is calculated in it’s entirety is a bad idea.
