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.

Payroll & Labour

For the campaign running from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, the payroll abatement deducted from total wages before computing the bad-weather contribution is set at 96,168 eurosLegifrance. The contribution rate applied to wages net of that abatement is 0.68% for structural-work and public-works firms and 0.13% for other firms covered by the schemeLegifrance. The minimum level of the reserve fund is fixed at 264,321,065 euros for the same periodLegifrance, and the national surcompensation fund's duties under the order are entrusted to the association CIBTP FranceLegifrance.

Heatwave stoppages get a defined employer share: the employer receives 80% of the reimbursement amount obtained for stoppages resulting from heatwave periodsLegifrance. The national surcompensation fund may decide, no later than 31 December 2026, that a higher share is paid. Stoppage declarations follow the standing circuit: the employer provisionally declares the stoppage within 120 hours of its startLegifrance and sends the final statement within one month of the resumption of activityLegifrance, certifying that the weather made work impossible and that the statutory conditions were metLegifrance; workers who took other paid work during the compensated stoppage repay the undue allowancesLegifrance, and the employer returns the corresponding reimbursements to the fundLegifrance. The mechanism sits within the bad-weather compensation circuit in which employers advance the allowances to workersLegifrance and are reimbursed through the paid-leave fundsLegifrance, with the national fund centralising the contributions collectedLegifrance and transferring back what the funds need for reimbursementsLegifrance. Management costs charged to the scheme may not exceed 10% of contributionsLegifrance, and the reserve fund is built from annual surpluses of receipts over spending on the compensation serviceLegifrance, absorbing deficits when spending exceeds receiptsLegifrance.

In practice, construction and public-works employers affiliated to a caisse de congés payés apply the new abatement and the rate matching their category to payroll from 1 April 2026Legifrance, and employers with heatwave stoppages claim reimbursement at the 80% default unless the fund raises the share by year endLegifrance.

Legal basis: arrêté du 3 septembre 2026, articles 1 to 5, applying articles L. 5424-6, D. 5424-25, D. 5424-26, D. 5424-36 and D. 5424-40 of the code du travailLegifrance.

Apply the €96,168 abatement and the 0.68%/0.13% rate matching your category to payroll from 1 April 2026, and claim heatwave stoppages at the 80% default.
