Answer 1

you can managed this settign from admin

Go to admin>System>Configuration>Sales>Tax>Shopping Cart Display Settings

make Display Subtotal=Excluding Tax

enter image description here

you can managed tax display setting on cart page,from here :

admin>System>Configuration>Sales>Tax>Shopping Cart Display Setting

=================================================================== How to do this (programatically)....

Under {magento_base}/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/tax/checkout/

Edit file grandtotal.phtml (I suggest you make a backup of the file just in case).

Find the line:

<?php if ($this->includeTax() && $this->getTotalExclTax()>=0):?>

Delete the subsequent lines:

<tr>
    <td style="<?php echo $this->getStyle() ?>" class="a-right" colspan="<?php echo $this->getColspan(); ?>">
        <strong><?php echo $this->helper('tax')->__('Grand Total Excl. Tax')?></strong>
    </td>
    <td style="<?php echo $this->getStyle() ?>" class="a-right">
        <strong><?php echo $this->helper('checkout')->formatPrice($this->getTotalExclTax()) ?></strong>
    </td>
</tr>

This change means it will now only show the tax inclusive line in the cart review.

Answer 2

You change your settings under System > Configuration > Sales > Tax

Calculation Settings: Catalog Prices - Including Tax

Price Display Settings: Display Product Prices In Catalog - Including Tax

Shopping Cart Display Settings: Include Tax In Grand Total - Yes

Orders, Invoices, Credit Memos Display Settings: Display Prices - Including Tax

keep other settings defaults.
