What sources does Taxxa search?

Taxxa searches a continuously updated collection of more than one million pages from tax authorities, government publications, legislation and case law across the European jurisdictions it covers. Every response cites the underlying material, so a professional can inspect the rule, its jurisdiction and whether it is current before relying on the result.

Can Taxxa work with a team’s own documents?

Yes. Research can combine the public knowledge base with a team’s own PDF, DOCX, CSV and TXT files in one workspace. That makes it possible to compare a client document with the relevant guidance, trace a conclusion to its source and prepare a draft without losing the evidence that supports it.

Who is Taxxa built for?

Accountants, auditors, tax advisors, payroll specialists, bookkeepers and advisory teams working across European jurisdictions. Shared workspaces keep research available to colleagues, and citations make review easier.

Where is customer data stored, and is it used to train models?

Customer data stays in the European Union and is never used to train language models.

Does Taxxa replace professional judgement?

No. Taxxa is a research and drafting workspace. It helps professionals reach an informed starting point faster; the professional still reviews the evidence and makes the final decision. It does not file returns, post bookkeeping entries or give legal advice.

Labour inspectorate clarifies 20-minute meal-break guidance

The guidance distinguishes the main meal break from total break time and explains when a break counts as working time.

Norway’s Labour Inspection Authority says the main meal break should never be shorter than 20 minutes when the working day exceeds 5.5 hours. Its revised English guidance applies that statement both to days shorter than eight hours and to days of eight hours or more. This is the authority’s guidance on breaks, not an announcement of a newly enacted statutory minimum.Arbeidstilsynet

For a day longer than 5.5 hours but shorter than eight hours, the guidance requires at least one break. At eight hours or more, total break time must be at least 30 minutes. The 20-minute meal-break guidance does not replace that longer total-break requirement.Arbeidstilsynet

Breaks count as working time if the employee must remain at the workplace or no satisfactory break or lunch room is available. Employers reviewing rotas should check both the length of the main meal break and whether the break must be included in recorded working time.Arbeidstilsynet

Review rotas against the meal-break guidance, total-break requirement and conditions for recording breaks as working time.
