## 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 euroref-dev-vat-place-of-supply-determination-edc41e80 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the VAT treatment for a B2C digital services sale from a UK seller to a German consumer — tell me the place of supply, who accounts for VAT, the rate basis, and cite the specific EU or UK statutory rule that applies.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a definitive, statute-cited VAT determination for cross-border digital services specifically involving EU member states, the UK, or South Africa — rather than a generic VAT rate lookup. It is especially valuable when you need to know not just the rate but who is liable to account for VAT, whether reverse charge applies, and exactly which legal provision mandates the treatment. Prefer it over a simple VAT rate lookup API when statutory compliance evidence is required.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported jurisdiction combination (countries outside EU, UK, South Africa) returns an error or partial result
- Ambiguous B2B/B2C classification leads to incorrect reverse charge determination
- Edge cases involving non-digital services misclassified as digital services
- Missing or invalid seller/buyer country codes cause validation errors
- Threshold-based registration triggers may not reflect the most recent legislative changes

## 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

A structured response indicating the place of supply for the transaction, which party (seller or buyer) is responsible for accounting for VAT, the applicable rate basis, whether a VAT registration obligation is triggered, and the specific statutory provision (EU Directive article, UK VAT Act section, or South African VAT Act reference) that underpins the determination.
