## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a precise, up-to-date South African learnership tax allowance calculation (Section 12H) for a given NQF level and credit count, rather than looking up static SARS tables manually. It is especially useful for HR, payroll, or tax planning agents operating in a South African context.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'nqf' or 'credits' query parameters returns an error
- Invalid or out-of-range NQF level returns a validation error
- Non-numeric credits value causes a bad request error
- Payment not provided or declined via x402 protocol returns 402 Payment Required
