To change the word tax we can edit the locale csv for majority of tax words
Here is it
Open the Languge File located in
/app/locale/en_US/Mage_Tax.csv
You will find the text “Tax” in 2nd para of 93th line.
You can replace the any other variable with your desired variable from this folder.
To change the the word Tax to VAT in the Magento checkout we need to edit a couple of core theme files, these are not changed automatically by a locale CSV.
Navigate to the following directory:
\app\design\frontend\[THEMENAME]\default\template\tax\checkout
Open the following files in notepad++:
grandtotal.phtml
subtotal.phtml
Alter all occurrences of Excl. Tax to Excl. VAT and Incl. Tax to Incl. VAT
You will also need to do the same with one core file:
\app\code\core\Mage\Tax\Block\Checkout\Shipping.php
Your checkout totals should now hopefully look something like this:
