Search tax Guides by topic

search_skills

Read-onlyIdempotent

Find the Guide for a specific tax topic by keyword: a deduction, form, regime or rule such as 'home office deduction', 'Schedule C', 'reverse charge', 'crypto capital gains' or 'Beckham regime'. Optionally limit to one jurisdiction or domain. Returns matching Guide slugs to open with get_skill. Set content_type='method' to find step-by-step methods (run them via start), each tagged accountant-reviewed or source-cited.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`query`	Yes	Search term, e.g. 'home office deduction', 'crypto capital gains', 'reverse charge'. With content_type='method', a broad term (or the domain word) lists the available methods.
`domain`	No	Optional accounting domain to limit the search (e.g. 'vat-gst', 'payroll', 'income-tax', 'crypto').
`content_type`	No	What kind of Guide to find. 'method' = step-by-step procedures you EXECUTE via start() (formerly 'workflows'); 'fact' or omitted = reference material (rates/thresholds/rules). A Guide can be either or both.
`jurisdiction`	No	Optional ISO 2-letter country code to limit the search
