Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 vat-calculate-a2b0e7cb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I have a €150 price that already includes VAT — can you tell me how much of that is VAT and what the net amount is for Germany using the standard VAT category?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to compute VAT breakdown for a specific monetary amount in a specific EU country, especially when building invoices, ecommerce checkouts, or financial reports. Prefer this over a general tax API when you need EU-specific VAT rates with optional VAT category support and both inclusive/exclusive price handling.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country code returns an error
- Missing required fields (amount or country_code) returns a validation error
- Unsupported vat_category value may return an error or fall back to standard
- Non-EU country codes may not be supported and return an error
