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.

Applicants had to be established and VAT-registered in the UK, with correct supporting documents at submission.

For Brazil quota 05.4318 and the non-EU-country quota 05.4320, Annex 1 offered 46,571,000kg and 31,416,000kg respectively of sugar under CN codes 1701 1310 or 1701 1410 at a reduced duty rate.

For orders 05.4318, 05.4320, 05.4321, 05.4326 and 05.4327, the notice requires proof of at least 25 tonnes of sugar imports in each of 1 July 2025–30 June 2026 and 1 July 2024–30 June 2025. Regulation 29 requires qualifying goods to have been released under the free-circulation procedure. For a first application of the quota year under Albania’s order, the notice instead specifies 17 September 2024–16 September 2025 and 17 September 2023–16 September 2024. Its spreadsheet evidence fields are entry number, entry date, CN code, quantity and licence number where applicable.

Brazilian goods under 05.4318 must carry an origin-certifying export certificate from Brazil’s Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services, a requirement applying from 1 October 2024. Indian-quota applicants must be able to obtain the required export documentation from APEDA. The notice also requires an origin entry and “Yes” selection in box 8 for the country-specific quotas. In box 11, applicants must enter the security amount in pounds and its type, adding the trader number of the block guarantee holder when using another trader’s block guarantee.

Security against the main electronic licence, excluding extracts, is released automatically once at least 95% of the licensed quantity has been attributed. Traders should check the quota number, commodity description, security coverage, proof of trade, VAT certificate and authorised signature against the notice’s checklist.

The arrangements are governed by the Customs (Tariff Quotas) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/1432), particularly regulations 23–26, 29 and 35 and Schedule 2.
