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.

Report holiday pay to Kela, not a self-calculated reimbursement

Employers must report only the part of the holiday pay or holiday compensation that accrued by law from the family leave. Kela calculates the reimbursement and applies its cap.

Employers applying to Kela for annual-holiday costs arising during family leave must report the statutory holiday pay or holiday compensation accrued for the relevant leave period.Kela Kela expressly instructs applicants not to enter a reimbursement amount they have calculated themselvesKela: Kela calculates the amount from the information the employer reports.Kela

The distinction affects both the calculation and its ceiling. Compensation is based on the annual income used for the employee’s parental allowance, divided by 300 and multiplied by 1.21Kela Kela. It is paid for 2.5 days per qualifying calendar month.Finlex The total cannot exceed the statutory holiday pay or holiday compensation the employer must pay for the relevant period, multiplied by 1.21.Finlex

A month qualifies where the employee had at least 14 days of the covered family leave, statutory annual holiday accrued for that time, and Kela paid parental allowance for at least 14 days in that month.Kela Kela Kela counts these thresholds in arkipäivätKela, and its instructions state expressly that Saturdays are arkipäivätKela — so this is not a Monday-to-Friday countKela. Kela’s instructions cover pregnancy, special pregnancy and parental leave. Statutory holiday accrual during pregnancy and parental leave is limited to the first 160 arkipäivätKela on that same Saturday-inclusive basisKela; special pregnancy leave can generate additional qualifying accrual for its durationKela.

Kela illustrates the calculation with annual income of €42,000 and six months of family leave, of which four qualifyKela.Kela The compensation is €1,694.Kela The statutory holiday pay in the example is €1,575Kela, giving a ceiling of €1,905.75 after multiplication by 1.21Kela. The amount the employer reports as holiday pay is therefore €1,575, rather than the €1,694 benefit calculated by Kela.Kela

Holiday bonuses and return-to-work bonuses are excluded.Kela Report the pay attributable to the family-leave period, not the dates when the employee later takes annual leave.Kela Where family leave is taken in separate periods, the application must identify the relevant periods and their accrued holiday pay.Kela Kela also permits an estimate of the holiday pay in an advance applicationKela, but processes it only once parental allowance has been paid for 160 arkipäivät, or the individual allowance period has been paidKela.

The application deadline is two years from the beginning of the calendar month for which compensation is claimed.Kela Employers can apply through Kela’s employer service or the Incomes Register; paper form SV 18 is another route described in the instructions.

The legal basis is the Health Insurance Act, Chapter 14, sections 1 and 3. The procedural basis is Kela’s guidance on reimbursement of annual-holiday costs.

Enter the statutory holiday pay or compensation accrued during the qualifying family leave and let Kela calculate the reimbursement.
