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.

Estonian crypto-asset service providers now have a fixed DAC8/CARF timetable. Implementing laws are to be adopted by 31 December 2025Emta, providers start collecting user and transaction data on 1 January 2026Emta, the first annual declaration covering 2026 data follows in 2027Emta, and the first international exchange of that data takes place on 30 September 2027Emta. The dated milestones replace an earlier schedule that listed the same steps without any dates.

The duties fall on aruandekohustuslikud krüptovarateenuse osutajadEmta: providers offering custody, exchange or platform services to clients, or executing exchange transactions on their behalfEmta. A provider generally starts reporting to Maksu- ja Tolliamet once it has been granted the relevant tegevuslubaEmta. The framework behind the duties is the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF)Emta, to which some 70 states and jurisdictions have committed to automatic exchangeEmta; exchange between EU Member States runs through amendments to the DAC8 directive aligning it with CARFEmta.

From 2026, Estonian reporting providers must collect identity data on users together with data on their crypto-asset purchases, sales and transfersEmta, covering both Estonian and foreign residentsEmta. Providers file annual declarations of these data with Maksu- ja TolliametEmta; the collection provisions describe the first declarations (2026 data) in January 2027Emta, reported as yearly totals for each crypto-assetEmta, while the newly dated timeline fixes the first annual declaration at 30 June 2027Emta and the first international exchange at 30 September 2027Emta. Estonia forwards data on foreign users to their state of residenceEmta, and other states' tax administrations send Estonia data on Estonian residents collected from their own reporting providersEmta.

Estonian law goes beyond the DAC8 and CARF minimum: providers must additionally file data from which capital gains and losses on crypto-asset transactions can be computed for individuals and for estatesEmta. Client due diligence means collecting and keeping reliable information including the client's state of residence, maksukohustuslase number and other personal dataEmta, following CARF, DAC8 and the Maksu- ja Tolliamet technical guide. Filings use the OECD CARF XML schema user guideEmta, which reporting providers may also use for domestic CARF reporting. Failure to report can trigger enforcement measures and fines under the maksukorralduse seadusEmta, with further detail to follow once the legislation enters into force.

Crypto-asset owners keep their own duty: gains, losses and other income from using or exchanging crypto-assets must still be declared in the pre-filled income tax return, and users must check that the pre-filled data are correctEmta.

Legal basis: Nõukogu direktiiv (EL) 2023/2226 of 17 October 2023 (DAC8), Annex III, and the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF).

Reporting crypto-asset service providers should align their data-collection systems with the 1 January 2026 start date and prepare for the first annual declaration covering 2026 data.
