How this service works
South African reference data as clean, cited JSON: fuel prices, interest rates, FX and bond yields, tax tables, tariffs, wages and grants, live government tenders and crypto prices, plus calculators. Built for AI agents and applications.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the original amount, the computed VAT amount at South Africa's current rate (15%), and the resulting amount after the requested operation (add, remove, or strip), along with citation metadata for the VAT rate used.
Example use cases
Invoice VAT breakdown for accountant
“I need to send a South African invoice for R8500 excluding VAT — what's the final amount including 15% VAT, and how much is the VAT portion?”
Reverse VAT check on retail receipt
“I paid R349 for something in South Africa and want to know how much of that was VAT and what the pre-VAT price was — can you strip the VAT from R349?”
Quote builder for freelancer
“I'm quoting a client in South Africa R12000 before VAT — add VAT to that and tell me the total they'll need to pay.”
