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.

Norway's five minimum-pension-level rates have each increased by NOK 8,000 under an amendment that entered into force on 1 September 2026Lovdata and takes effect from 1 May 2026Lovdata. The change affects the rates in the National Insurance minimum-pension provisions. It leaves a separate transition rule for the assessment of entitlement to draw retirement pension before age 67Lovdata.

The low annual rate is NOK 217,531Lovdata, up from NOK 209,531Lovdata. The ordinary rate is NOK 250,509Lovdata, up from NOK 242,509Lovdata, and the high rate is NOK 263,191Lovdata, up from NOK 255,191Lovdata. The special rate under the sixth paragraph, letter a, is NOK 301,062Lovdata, while the special rate under letter b is NOK 405,215Lovdata. Their previous amounts were NOK 293,062 and NOK 397,215 respectivelyLovdata.

The distinction between commencement and effect matters when applying the figures. Although the amendment commenced in SeptemberLovdata, it expressly gives the rate changes effect from MayLovdata. The September date should therefore not be treated as the starting point for the higher minimum-pension rates themselvesLovdata.

For the separate test governing pension withdrawal before age 67, the increase in the special rate under letter a takes effect on 1 January 2027Lovdata. That delayed date applies to use of the increased rate in assessing the early-withdrawal conditionsLovdata. It does not postpone the general May effect of the revised pension rates for the people receiving those pensionsLovdata.

The regulation continues to state the National Insurance basic amount as NOK 136,549Lovdata. Its guaranteed-pension rates also remain NOK 234,765 for the ordinary rateLovdata and NOK 253,787 for the high rateLovdata. Those figures sit in different provisions from the five minimum-pension rates changed here, so the NOK 8,000 increase should not be applied across all pension-related amounts in the regulation.

The legal basis is FOR-2026-06-23-1239, parts I–IILovdata, amending § 3 of FOR-2026-05-22-869 and specifying the transition for folketrygdloven § 19-11Lovdata.

Use the revised minimum-pension rates from 1 May 2026, keeping the separate 1 January 2027 transition for the early-withdrawal test.
