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.

Council-tax disregard rules added for Ukraine guests

HMRC's Homes for Ukraine page adds council-tax rules: guests are disregarded, but after moving to an extension visa the disregard depends on the host's thank you payment eligibility.

The Homes for Ukraine tax page has gained a full Council Tax section.GOV Council tax funds local services such as road maintenance, street lighting, rubbish collection and the police and fire services. It is charged on adults living in a domestic dwelling, or on the owner where the property is empty, calculated on the property's value and adjusted for the number and circumstances of the people living there.

The key concept is the disregard. Some people are not counted when working out how many people live in a property, which can reduce the bill: where everyone in the household is disregarded the bill is cut by 50%, and where the bill-payer lives alone or everyone else is disregarded it is cut by 25%. A discount or exemption must be applied for even where a disregard applies, and anyone unsure about the bill or who is responsible for paying should contact the local council.

In England, a person on a Homes for Ukraine visa is disregarded for council tax purposes.GOV While that disregard applies, living with a sponsor or host does not affect the sponsor's or host's billGOV, and where every other resident is also disregarded the household receives the 50% discountGOV.

Someone who has moved onto a Ukraine Permission Extension visa keeps the disregard only on two joint conditions: they formerly held a Homes for Ukraine visa, and they live at a property provided by a Homes for Ukraine sponsor or host who is eligible for thank you payments.GOV Council guidance for the extension scheme states the disregard and any accommodation exemption remain in place for as long as the sponsor or host is eligible for a thank you paymentGOV, and also apply where the sponsor or host remains eligible on expiry of the Homes for Ukraine permission for up to six monthsGOV.

Where those circumstances do not apply and no other disregard is available — the page gives full-time student status as an example — the bill will normally be payable in full. In particular, continuing to live with a sponsor or host who is not eligible for thank you payments ends the disregardGOV, and the sponsor's or host's bill may increase. Anyone uncertain, guest or host, should seek clarification from the council.

The legal basis is the Council Tax disregard and discount framework together with the Homes for Ukraine Ukraine Permission Extension scheme guidance for councils on thank you payments and council tax.

Check whether each Ukrainian guest is disregarded for council tax, confirm the host's thank you payment eligibility where an extension visa applies, and refer any uncertain bill to the local council.
