Edit tax calculation in Magento 1.9

Question

I am working on an existing Magento 1.9 project.

Here is the scenario

In admin panel i have set the product price to 118, now in front end it showing the price to 100 + 18% tax, same in the checkout cart.

I just want to show 118 without any tax, how can i do that. Any guidance or pointing in direction will be a great help, this is my first php work..

Update to question Now i have update all tax rate to 0, but it is still reducing the prices as mentioned above, so i look at the My SQL table Sales_flate_quote, and it shows the price in column name subtotal-->495.76, base_subtotal--> 585, the price i set in magento is 585. i am still finding the possible cause.

On the index page, price is showing 585, when i go in cart it shows 495.76

Answer 1

I'm not sure if I correctly understand your question, but are you aware of the tax display settings in the config (determining if the price should be shown including or excluding tax in frontend)?

You can find these settings in System -> Configuration -> Sales -> Tax There are settings for tax display type of product prices as well as cart prices.

Edit: I forgot to mention the calculation settings that are more likely what you are searching for:

Especially have a look at "Catalog Prices" ("Whether catalog prices entered by admin include tax.")

You can find these settings in System -> Configuration -> Sales -> Tax too.
