## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability eu-vat-rate-lookup-invoice-breakdown-76eb45f2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the standard and reduced VAT rate in Spain, and can you break down a €100 net amount into net, VAT, and gross for me?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative EU VAT rates for a specific member state or need to programmatically generate invoice breakdowns (net/VAT/gross) for billing workflows. It is especially useful when you need to validate whether a given VAT rate is actually in force in a country, or when building tax-compliant invoicing tools for European markets. Prefer this over generic tax APIs when you specifically need EU VAT rate tables with territorial regime warnings.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-EU country ISO code returns an error or empty result
- Amount provided without specifying incluye_iva may default to net interpretation
- Requesting a rate not in force for a country may trigger a warning note rather than refusal
- Missing required pais field returns a validation error
- Special territorial regimes (Canarias, Ceuta, Melilla) flagged in nota but not auto-corrected

## How this service works

Standard and reduced VAT rates of any EU member state, and an invoice breakdown (net, VAT, gross) from a net or VAT-inclusive amount, flagging rates that are not in force there.

## Output

A JSON object containing the country ISO code and name, the standard VAT rate (tipo_general_pct), an array of reduced VAT rates (tipos_reducidos_pct), a breakdown object (base, iva, total, tipo_pct) if an amount was provided, a nota field flagging special territorial regimes (e.g. Canary Islands), and a tabla_revisada date indicating when the rate table was last updated.
