Magento : Disable/ Remove “Estimate Shipping and Tax”

We can solve this issue two way.

First way :

Create local.xml file with below code and upload your theme layout folder
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ ?>
<layout>
<checkout_cart_index>
<reference name=”content”>
<block name=”checkout.cart”>
<remove name=”checkout.cart.shipping”/>
</block>
</reference>
</checkout_cart_index>
</layout>

Second way :

Remove the following code from /app/design/frontend/yourtheme/layout/checkout.xml

<block type=”checkout/cart_shipping” name=”checkout.cart.shipping” as=”shipping” template=”checkout/cart/shipping.phtml”/>

Done! :)
