VAT breakdown (net, tax, gross)
Splits an amount into net, tax and gross at the country's statutory rate, including levy components where they exist. A reduced or zero band can be named explicitly; we publish what each band covers in the authority's own words but do not classify supplies into bands.
This endpoint takes a POST, because it computes an answer from values you supply — there is nothing to fetch at this URL. You are seeing this page because your browser asked for HTML; an API client gets a 405 with the same information as JSON.

Paid per call over x402 (USDC on Base) — no key, no signup. Invalid input and questions we cannot answer well are refused free, before the payment gate: you never pay to fail.
What sits behind the answer
Every computed answer is arithmetic on cited reference data. The underlying values each carry their official source, an effective date and a last-verified date, and each declares how it was obtained — see the country pages and source provenance. Results are labelled basis: "computed" and are not tax, legal or financial advice.
