Build on the Ototo API
Calculate Belgian company-car taxation, pull a full tax matrix for a vehicle, manage car details, and get notified when calculation rules change — all from your own product.
Ototo's calculators cover the recurring taxation and cost questions Belgian fleet, leasing, and HR software needs to answer for a company car: registration tax (BIV/TMC), yearly road tax (verkeersbelasting), benefit in kind (VAA), fiscal deductibility, rejected expenses, and the CO₂ employer contribution. The API exposes those same calculators so you can embed them directly instead of re-implementing Belgian tax rules yourself.
Environments
Every integration talks to one of two environments. Each has its own subscription key and its own data — nothing is shared between them.
Acceptance / sandbox
For development and testing. May change as new features roll out.
https://ototo-acc.azure-api.net/v1/
Production
Stable. Breaking changes ship under a new version number, not as in-place changes.
https://api.ototo.be/v1/
See Authentication for how to attach your subscription key to requests, and how to request credentials for each environment.
Quickstart
Every request is authenticated with a subscription-key query parameter. Here's a minimal call to retrieve a car detail from the acceptance environment:
curl "https://ototo-acc.azure-api.net/v1/CarDetails/{carDetailId}?subscription-key=YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY"
And a call to /Calculate, the core taxation calculator, using an inline vehicle instead of a stored one:
curl -X POST "https://ototo-acc.azure-api.net/v1/Calculate?subscription-key=YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{

Calling /Calculate or /GetTaxMatrix requires calculation access to be enabled on your subscription, in addition to a valid key. If you get an unexpected 401, confirm this with your Ototo contact.
