Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://zaref.dev/v1/vat?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the authoritative, cited South African VAT rate with provenance metadata (source URL and effective date) rather than relying on a static value embedded in code or a general knowledge model. Ideal for invoicing, tax compliance checks, and financial applications that require an auditable, up-to-date reference.
Side effects
- Service unavailable or rate-limited — HTTP 5xx response
- Payment not processed correctly — HTTP 402 or similar payment-required error
- Upstream government source unavailable causing stale or missing data
- Network timeout if the endpoint is temporarily unreachable
