About

South Africa VAT Threshold Watch answers the question a growing South African small business keeps asking: is my taxable turnover about to pass the VAT registration line, and how much room is left? check_vat_registration_status compares 12-month taxable turnover with the R2,300,000 compulsory and R120,000 voluntary thresholds SARS states from 1 April 2026 (and the R1 million and R50,000 amounts they replaced, for earlier dates). project_threshold_crossing finds the month-end at which a monthly turnover series went over the compulsory threshold, or projects the month it would under a growth assumption you choose. weekly_threshold_alert returns a short alert payload for a scheduled weekly check. compare_vat_and_turnover_tax_limits compares one figure with the VAT thresholds and the turnover tax limit, both raised on 1 April 2026. vat_thresholds_reference returns the 15% standard rate and both threshold rows with the SARS wording, source URLs, retrieval date and a verification label, and flags that one SARS page still shows the older amounts in its rule text. Everything is computed locally in exact decimal arithmetic from figures the caller supplies; nothing is stored, registered or filed. General information only, not tax advice.

Conventions

  • Read-only. Every tool reads public data or computes; nothing is written anywhere and nothing about the user is stored.
  • Result envelope. ok: true with data, or ok: false with a structured error (bad_input, not_found, upstream_error). degraded lists optional sources that were unreachable.
  • Rate limits. Free tier 60 tool calls/minute and 300/day per user (keyed on the user identifier supplied by the host agent, else client IP); Pro keys raise this. Over-limit calls return HTTP 429 with Retry-After. initialize and tools/list are never counted.

South Africa VAT Threshold Watch — Privacy Policy

Effective 29 September 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What South Africa VAT Threshold Watch is. South Africa VAT Threshold Watch is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that AI assistants call on your behalf: Tracks rolling 12-month taxable turnover against the R2.3m compulsory and R120k voluntary VAT registration thresholds (from 1 Apr 2026) and warns before the line is crossed. You talk to your assistant; the assistant sends us only the arguments needed for that one request.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant, and a Pro API key if you have one), and standard server logs.

Nothing is stored. Every tool is a local calculation or a lookup against bundled reference data; no request is forwarded to any third party. Arguments are used for that one response and are not logged in request bodies, recorded, or used to train anything.

What we do not receive or store. We do not receive your conversation with the assistant, your name, contacts or account credentials, and we build no profile: each request is answered independently. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses and request paths, not request bodies) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention.

Sub-processors. None. Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information.

Children. South Africa VAT Threshold Watch is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
