What Is Tax & VAT?
Tax and VAT APIs let an agent check tax identifiers and calculate invoice tax without wiring one country-specific provider directly.
Direct VAT integrations often expose provider-specific request fields for validation, calculation, and category-rate lookup. That makes billing and invoice workflows harder to keep stable.
AgentRouter keeps VAT validation, VAT calculation, and category lookup behind one tax domain, one wallet, and normalized route context.
Top Scenarios
Use VAT validation when the workflow needs to check a customer tax identifier before invoice creation.

Quick Start
Get an API key, ask AgentRouter to recommend the best route for the job, and execute through one shared wallet instead of wiring each provider separately.
Step 1
Enable the API once
Create one AgentRouter API key that can be reused across all live domains and capabilities.
Step 2
Recommend the route
Let AgentRouter compare the current routes, prices, and route availability before the first execute call.
Step 3
Execute the capability
Run the selected workflow through the chosen route while AgentRouter handles pricing, wallet debits, and upstream settlement.

Pricing By Task
These examples translate the current live route prices into workflow questions operators usually evaluate before shipping a domain into an agent.
| Task | Route | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calculate VAT | VAT (tax.vat.calculate.abstract-vat.mpp) | 6 credits ($0.006) | Send countryCode, amount, and calculation type to receive normalized VAT amount fields. |
| List VAT categories | VAT (tax.vat.categories.list.abstract-vat.mpp) | 6 credits ($0.006) | Send countryCode to inspect available VAT categories and rates before applying a tax treatment. |
Pricing note: 1000 credits = $1 USD. Raw API responses still return numeric credit fields such as creditsCharged.
Why AgentRouter
Recommendation happens before execution, so the agent can compare current route supply and pricing instead of hard-coding one provider forever. The same routed contract stays stable even as provider coverage or transport paths change underneath.
FAQ
The launch surface covers VAT number validation, VAT calculation, and VAT category-rate lookup. Broader tax filing, nexus, and compliance workflows should stay outside this surface until they have their own capability model.
No. The live Abstract VAT routes use AgentRouter's MPP settlement path and execute through one AgentRouter wallet.
For validation, send vatNumber and optional countryCode. For calculation, send countryCode, amount, and calculationType. For category lookup, send countryCode after reading route context.
