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.

Offshore-bound vaping goods gain duty-stamp exception

HMRC adds a stamp-free exception for vaping products moved to Continental Shelf oil/gas installations or loaded onto support vessels on eligible voyages.

Vaping products moved to oil or gas installations ("work points") on the Continental Shelf need no duty stamp affixed to their packaging.GOV The same applies to vaping products loaded on board support vessels making an eligible voyage.GOV HMRC has added these two offshore movements to the published list of circumstances in which duty stamps do not need to be affixed.GOV

The published list otherwise covers products to be exported from the UK after manufacture, products shipped or carried for use on board a ship, aircraft or train as stores, products for use in an export shop, products brought into the UK within a passenger's personal duty-free allowance, and products where another relief has been afforded. The offshore addition sits naturally beside the stores exception: goods leaving the UK consumption chain for ships, aircraft, trains, export shops and now Continental Shelf installations and their support vessels.

The stamping requirement itself is set by regulation 2 of the Vaping Duty Stamps (Requirements, Reviews and Appeals) Regulations 2026.Legislation A vaping product produced or imported before 1 October 2026 must be stamped by 1 April 2027Legislation, and a product produced or imported on or after 1 October 2026 must be stamped at or before the time it passes an excise duty pointLegislation. Regulation 2(2) then sets out the cases where the requirement does not apply, including export, shipment as stores without payment of duty or on drawback, use in an export shop, and relief cases. Those Regulations came into force on 1 April 2026.Legislation

Producers and advisers moving vaping goods offshore should read the new exception alongside the stamping deadlines: the stamp-free treatment covers the Continental Shelf leg, while products for the UK market must still meet the applicable stamping date.

The legal basis is regulation 2 of the Vaping Duty Stamps (Requirements, Reviews and Appeals) Regulations 2026 and the HMRC manual page reproducing the exceptions to the requirement to stamp.

Before affixing duty stamps to an offshore-bound consignment, check it against the stamp-free exception list, and diary the stamping deadline that applies to UK-market products.
