How do I prevent magento from adding tax at checkout?

[Davroid]

I have set my magento settings to display prices 'including tax' however when a buyer buys an item it adds tax. How can i prevent magento from adding tax at checkout?

See images of my magento tax settings and the magento order page.

Hello @Davroid

In my knowledge you can hide this from Admin Panel, you need to

Go to Admin > Configuration > Sales > Tax > Shopping Cart Display Settings

Change Display Full Tax Summary to NO

If still you are able to see the Tax on checkout page then

You can remove the line

echo $this->renderTotals('taxes', $this->getColspan()); 

on phtml app/design/frontend/base/default/template/tax/checkout/grandtotal.phtml
