Default Don't show VAT / Sales Tax

Hi, I'm not a VAT registered company.

I want to sell online, and am about to launch my store using Boss Cart. I've read on the internet, that UK company's that are not VAT registered should not show any VAT/Sales tax calculations on invoices, receipts etc.

As such, I've set my products up to use VAT/sales tax of 0%.

However, this still shows on my shopping cart as "Tax Total 0%", which is confusing and misleading for the customer and shouldn't be there for non-VAT registered companies selling items. The rule appears to be, if you are not VAT registered, you dont display any reference to sales tax at all on any of your documents relating to sales/purchases.

The email that verifies the purchase, also says "Tax Total 0%", which again isn't ideal. It shouldn't mention that VAT at all.

The Purchase Order in the customers account history also says "Tax Total 0%".

You get the idea. It's basically quoted allover the place in Boss Cart. I considered just editing the code and removing the line completely from the Boss Cart scripts, but, because it's in so many places this would take a long time, and I'd end up having to customize lots of the Boss Code scripts. I dont like to do this, because it makes my cart installation very none-standard and as such any version updates etc might then be complicated and even undo my changes.

So, is there an simple way, one can let Boss Cart JV know that the company is not VAT registered and as such all references to "Tax Total"s on any of the emails, carts, invoices, purchase orders etc are REMOVED.

Many thanks, Jon
