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 Customs Declaration Service (CDS) will be unavailable to all users from 7 PM on Saturday 26 September 2026 until 8.30 AM on Sunday 27 September 2026 while scheduled maintenance is carried out. The notice flags that this outage will be longer than usual and urges businesses that file customs declarations through CDS to take the mitigating steps described below so disruption is kept to a minimum.

Declarations submitted during the outage window will not be lost: they will be processed at the end of the downtime. Businesses should nevertheless plan submission timings around the window, because nothing will clear while the service is downTAX and a backlog will be worked through once it returns.

Goods movement references (GMRs) linked to CDS may also be affected. Creating, updating or embarking a GMR connected to CDS could fail or behave unexpectedly during the times listed, so hauliers and intermediaries that rely on the Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) should consult the GVMS service availability and issues page before travelling and allow extra time for border crossings that span the outage.

For import movements using GVMS during the outage, customers should check the declaration status and arrive where necessary, following the guidance on manually arriving goods in the UK.

Consignments containing controlled goods that travel under pre-lodged declarations need particular care. The notice directs those moving such consignments to follow the published guidance and to attend port inspection facilities or Inland Border Facilities so the goods can be inspected and released. Businesses moving controlled goods over that weekend should therefore confirm inspection opening arrangements and build the attendance step into their plans rather than assuming a pre-lodged declaration alone will release the goods.

Exporters face a before-or-after choice for permission to progress (P2P). Where goods move from locations that require an arrived export, the declaration must be submitted and permission to progress (P2P) obtained before the outage beginsTAX. From any other location, exporters must either arrive at the border location and obtain P2P before the outage or hold the movement until after the outage endsTAX.

This is an operational service notice about the stated maintenance window and the arrival and P2P steps above.

Submit declarations due over the weekend of 26-27 September 2026 early, secure export permission to progress before 7 PM on 26 September, and plan GVMS arrivals around the outage window.
