Change tax to vat on magento

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:
