How this service works
Cross-border VAT treatment for a digital-services sale: place of supply, who accounts, rate basis, registration trigger — the applied rule cited to the statute (EU, UK, South Africa)
Output
Returns the VAT treatment determination including: place of supply ruling, which party is responsible for accounting for the VAT (supplier or customer via reverse charge), the applicable rate basis, whether a registration threshold has been triggered, and the specific statutory citation (EU directive article, UK VAT Act section, or South African VAT Act provision) that underpins the ruling.
Example use cases
SaaS startup VAT registration check
“We're a South African startup selling cloud software to UK consumers. At what revenue threshold do we trigger a VAT registration obligation in the UK, and which statutory rule applies?”
EU B2B reverse charge determination
“My UK company is selling digital analytics services to a German GmbH — does reverse charge apply, who accounts for the VAT, and can you cite the EU directive provision that governs this?”
Cross-border digital marketplace compliance
“Our platform sells digital content to consumers in both South Africa and the EU. For a sale from an EU supplier to a South African consumer, what is the place of supply, who owes the VAT, and what rate basis applies under South African law?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://afriref.dev/v1/vat/determineWhen to prefer
Prefer this endpoint when you need a legally-cited, rule-based VAT determination for cross-border digital services specifically involving EU, UK, or South Africa jurisdictions. It is purpose-built for the Africa-EU-UK triangle and cites the actual statute, making it suitable for compliance documentation rather than just estimation. Choose alternatives for purely domestic VAT calculations, for jurisdictions outside this triangle, or for goods (non-digital) VAT treatment.
Side effects
- Unsupported country pair (only EU, UK, South Africa jurisdictions covered) — returns 422 with unsupported jurisdiction error
- Missing required fields (supplier country, customer country, customer type, service type) — returns 400 validation error
- Ambiguous service classification not mappable to digital services category — returns 422 with classification error
- Outdated statutory rate if legislation changed after last data refresh — stale data risk
- Transaction date outside supported range — returns 400 with date range error
