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 calculated annual wear-and-tear deduction, the depreciation rate applied, and a breakdown of the depreciation schedule for the asset over its useful life, based on SARS-approved rates.
Example use cases
Laptop depreciation for freelancer
“I bought a laptop for R22,000 for my freelance business. What wear-and-tear deduction can I claim from SARS each year if it has a 3-year useful life?”
Delivery vehicle tax allowance
“My company bought a delivery van for R350,000. Can you calculate the annual SARS wear-and-tear allowance for a vehicle over 4 years?”
Office equipment depreciation planning
“We purchased R120,000 worth of office furniture. What's the yearly wear-and-tear deduction we can claim on our South African tax return over 6 years?”
Technical details
Endpoint
HEADhttps://zaref.dev/calc/wear-and-tear?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to compute SARS-compliant wear-and-tear (Section 11(e)) depreciation allowances for South African tax purposes. It is purpose-built for South African tax law and returns cited, jurisdiction-specific figures — prefer it over generic depreciation calculators when dealing with SARS submissions or South African business accounting.
Side effects
- Missing required query parameters (cost, asset, or years) returns an error
- Invalid or unrecognised asset type may return a validation error or fallback rate
- Non-numeric cost or years values cause a parsing error
- HEAD method returns no body — any calculation result must be retrieved via GET
