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

All ONCE FOR ALL (OFA) staff in Lyon whose time is counted in hours — Agents de maîtrise and Employés — work a 35-hour weekLegifrance Legifrance — 151.67 hours a monthLegifrance, Monday to FridayLegifrance — from 1 May 2026. The regime covers permanent and fixed-term contractsLegifrance, full-time and part-time alike. Cadres dirigeants within article L3111-2 du Code du travail sit outside itLegifrance, and staff on an annual day-package remain under their separate accordLegifrance.

Hours beyond 35 in a week count as overtimeLegifrance and are paid at month-endLegifrance. Overtime is entered in the SIRH by the employee and validated there by the manager, and public holidays falling on weekdays are neutralised when counting the week's overtimeLegifrance. Hours an employee generates on their own initiative also qualify for payment where the employer at least implicitly agreed or the tasks required them.

Premiums run at 25% through the 43rd weekly hour includedLegifrance and 50% from the 44thLegifrance, in line with article L3121-33. With the employee's prior agreement, payment may be replaced by equivalent replacement restLegifrance: 1 hour 15 minutes per hour at 25%Legifrance, 1 hour 30 minutes per hour at 50%Legifrance — the branch convention IDCC 2098 authorises the substitutionLegifrance, and the choice is made when the hours are declared. The annual overtime quota is 220 hours per employeeLegifrance; hours converted into replacement rest do not count against it, while hours beyond the quota earn the statutory compulsory rest (contrepartie obligatoire en repos)Legifrance taken under the rules in force on the rest date.

Eligible posts — support functions, R&D, product, data science, CSM, marketplace and non-shifted sales and service teams — work variable hours around fixed presence windowsLegifrance (four options spanning 8h30–18h00Legifrance, each including two 15-minute breaks) with flexible arrival between 8h00 and 9h30, lunch between 12h00 and 14h00, and departure from 16h30. Once a week, with a week's notice, an employee on fixed windows may take a two-hour lunch, made up the same day. Windows can be adjusted for business needs with 15 days' notice. Shift-based service and sales staff stay on their posted rosters.

Part-time staff keep the same provisions as full-time staffLegifrance. A move to part-time is requested by registered letter at least three months ahead, stating the desired hours; the company answers within one month and, if it agrees, signs an amendment at least two weeks before the switch. Complementary hours are capped at 10% of contractual hours, paid with a 10% premium from the first hour, and an employee may refuse hours notified less than three working days ahead without fault. Staff seeking a return to full-time get priority for available posts matching their skills.

Commuting between home and the usual workplace is not working timeLegifrance, but travel between two workplaces during the day isLegifrance. Time from home to an unusual workplace beyond the 30-minute normal commute earns rest at 75% of the excessLegifrance — one hour of excess equals 45 minutes of restLegifrance — taken as full or half days by 31 DecemberLegifrance (31 January for December travel), with a 3.5-hour balance unlocking a half day and smaller balances settled by ad-hoc scheduling or rounding. The ceilings recalled are 44 hours a week averaged over 12 weeksLegifrance, 48 hours in any single weekLegifrance, 10 hours a dayLegifrance, with 11 consecutive hours of daily restLegifrance, 35 hours of weekly restLegifrance and a 13-hour daily spanLegifrance.
