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.

Mobile workers who have a regular workplace cannot claim the special-sector meal deduction, Vero clarifies in its guidance for employees in construction, earthworks and forestry.Vero A place used to collect work orders or a vehicle, or to store tools, can be the regular workplace even when the employee carries out assignments elsewhere.Vero

The distinction depends on working conditions, not simply the industry or job title. Vero’s detailed travel guidance describes mobile work as work at frequently changing sites, typically changing daily or weekly. Its example of a maintenance electrician collecting a vehicle and tools from a warehouse before short assignments treats the warehouse as the regular workplace. By contrast, an electrician working on construction projects lasting weeks or months generally falls under the special-sector rules and has no regular workplace, even when collecting a vehicle and tools from a warehouse. Collection alone therefore does not settle the classification.

For the meal deduction, all the conditions must be met: the employee works in construction, earthworks or forestry and has no regular workplaceVero Vero; the employer has not arranged meals at the special worksite or nearby; and the employer has not paid a meal allowance, daily allowance or other compensation for meals. Total income-earning expenses must also exceed €750.Vero That threshold concerns all those expenses together, rather than meal expenses alone.

For 2025, the deduction corresponding to the meal allowance is €13.25 per day.Vero The amount is €26.50 when the working day exceeds 11 hours, including two meal breaks.Vero Travel time does not count towards the length of the working day. These are the 2025 amounts given in the guidance, not rates for every tax year.

Employees claiming the deduction on their 2025 pre-completed return use MyTax. If income-earning expenses are already listed, they add the meal deduction there; otherwise they open the wage income-earning expense breakdown under other deductions. The meal-allowance section is reserved for construction, earthworks and forestry. Claimants report the number of meals and the amount of meal costs reimbursed by the employer, check the information and submit the return.

The regular-workplace definition is set out in Tuloverolaki, §72 b (Varsinainen työpaikka).

Check the employee’s working pattern, regular workplace, employer meal reimbursements and remaining eligibility conditions before claiming 2025 meal expenses.
