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.

The Competition and Markets Authority has launched its merger inquiry into The Brink’s Company and NCR Atleos CorporationGOV, with a phase 1 decision deadline of 22 October 2026GOV. The CMA announced the launch by notice to the parties on 26 August, moving the case into formal investigation.

For the parties and their advisers, 22 October is the published decision milestone. The CMA says it will seek to determine the investigation as quickly as possible, while warning that the statutory deadline can be extended in certain limited circumstancesGOV. The date should therefore be tracked as the phase 1 decision deadline, rather than treated as a guaranteed date for clearance of the transaction.

The earlier invitation to comment ran from 20 May to 4 June 2026 and is marked closed. It sought initial views from interested parties about the transaction's possible effects on competition in the UK as part of the CMA's information gathering. That earlier invitation described the case as not yet formally launched; the subsequent launch announcement establishes the new procedural position. The October date is not a replacement deadline for that closed invitation.

The statutory framework requires the CMA, within the initial period, to decide whether the relevant duty to make a reference applies and notify the enterprises concerned of its decision and reasons. The initial period is 40 working days. In a merger-notice case, it begins on the first working day after the CMA gives the notifier its notice under section 96(2A). Otherwise, it begins on the first working day after the CMA notifies the enterprises that it has sufficient information to begin an investigation for deciding whether to make a reference.

An extension can arise if a relevant person fails to comply with an information-gathering notice under section 109. That extension continues until the requirement is met to the CMA's satisfaction or the CMA publishes its cancellation. This is a statutory possibility, rather than an announced extension in this case.

The timing framework is in the Enterprise Act 2002, Part 3, sections 34ZA and 34ZB.

Diary the 22 October 2026 phase 1 decision deadline and monitor the CMA timetable for any extension.
