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.

HMRC's lists of recognised payroll software no longer include seven productsGOV GOV that appeared in the previous version. From the free-software list — recognised by HMRC for businesses with fewer than 10 employees — four entries are gone: 1st Money (GB) Ltd's 1st FREE+ Payroll & HR, Collegia Partners Ltd's Collegia FreePayroll, Employment Hero (UK) Ltd's Employment Hero Free Payroll, and IRIS Software Ltd's IRIS Payroll BasicsGOV GOV GOV GOV GOV GOV GOV. From the paid list, three entries are gone: Buddy Limited's Buddy, Criterion Inc's Criterion HCM, and Indus Software Ltd's Indus Payroll.GOV GOV GOV

The lists present payroll software recognised by HMRC, which can be used to report PAYE online. The page advises readers to consider which features they need and to check the software chosen has those features. Anyone currently filing through one of the seven removed products will no longer find it on the current lists.GOV The page's own advice applies: consider which features are needed, check the chosen software has those features, and pick from the products the current lists recognise before the next filing run.

The same update made purely cosmetic renames to remaining entries. Enrolpay Ltd's product is now styled Enrolpay Small Payroll rather than Enrolpay -Small Payroll. Acting Office Ltd's entry reads Acting Office — Payroll instead of Acting Office - Payroll, and Remote Technology Services Ltd's reads Remote — Payroll instead of Remote - Payroll. Innovatie Ltd's paiyroll® lost its registered-trademark symbol and now reads paiyroll. These renames do not change which products the lists recognise.

HMRC states on the page that it cannot recommend one product or service over another, and that it is not responsible for problems with software bought by users. The page points employers taking on staff to separate guidance on getting the business ready to employ staff before choosing software.

Legal basis: HMRC recognition as published in the find-payroll-software guidance.

Check whether your payroll product is still on HMRC's recognised list and, if it was one of the seven removed, pick a recognised replacement with the features you need before your next PAYE filing run.
