tax-article-generator_skill

Overview

This skill generates SEO-focused South African tax and VAT compliance articles tailored for SARS deadlines, VAT, PAYE, and provisional tax. It produces structured markdown content and JSON metadata suitable for automated publishing and content workflows.

How this skill works

The generator accepts template variables (title, year, key deadlines, penalty and interest details, CTA) and renders Jinja2-based article templates into a consistent JSON output schema. It can produce multiple article types—SARS compliance guides, VAT, PAYE, and provisional tax pieces—ready for scheduling or manual publishing.

When to use it

• When you need up-to-date, year-specific SARS compliance articles for a blog or CMS.
• To automate production of SEO-optimized content for tax season campaigns.
• When preparing deadline reminders, VAT filing guides, or PAYE instructions.
• To generate structured article JSON for integration with publishing pipelines.
• When requiring consistent article templates across multiple tax topics.

Best practices

• Supply accurate deadline and penalty variables each tax year and verify against SARS notices.
• Use the MAIN_KEYWORD and ARTICLE_TITLE fields to optimize on-page SEO and meta tags.
• Validate rendered JSON against the provided output schema before publishing.
• Automate scheduling with calendar triggers but review content manually for legal accuracy.
• Pair generated articles with a human review for nuanced guidance and client-specific advice.

Example use cases

• Create a "SARS 2026 Tax Season" guide listing provisional tax and return deadlines with CTA to download a checklist.
• Generate a detailed VAT 201 walkthrough explaining category schedules and late submission penalties.
• Produce EMP201/PAYE monthly filing guides for payroll teams detailing UIF and SDL steps.
• Auto-generate provisional tax help articles describing IRP6 estimates, payment dates, and underestimation penalties.
• Render article JSON for a CMS webhook to publish timed compliance reminders.
