Overview

This node interacts with the Zambia Revenue Authority VSDC Smart Invoice API to retrieve standard codes related to tax and invoicing. Specifically, the 'Get Standard Codes' operation under the 'Codes' resource fetches standard codes updated since a specified last request date. This is useful for keeping tax code data up to date in financial or invoicing systems, ensuring compliance with the latest regulatory standards. For example, a business can use this node to periodically update its tax code database to reflect changes made by the Zambia Revenue Authority.

Use Case Examples

1. A business automation workflow that updates tax codes daily by fetching standard codes from the VSDC API using the last request date parameter.
2. An accounting system integration that retrieves the latest standard codes to validate invoice entries before submission to tax authorities.

Troubleshooting
