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.

VDI statutes add asbestos-permit violation from 1 October

A new point 21.8 makes unlicensed asbestos construction work a codified inspection violation, and a new point 8.1.11(1) assigns VDI its Article 18(1) safety functions.

The Valstybinė darbo inspekcija (VDI) statutes gain a new function: point 8.1.11(1) tasks VDI with carrying out the functions assigned to it in Article 18(1) of the Darbuotojų saugos ir sveikatos įstatymasE TAR. Points 1.1 and 1.3 of the amending order take effect on 1 October 2026E TAR.

The same order writes the asbestos permit into the VDI employer-inspection rules. New point 21.8 provides that an employer carries out construction work in which structures containing asbestos or asbestos-containing materials are demolished or altered, or asbestos or asbestos-containing materials are removed, without holding the valid permit to carry out construction work under asbestos exposure referred to in Article 18(11) of the Darbuotojų saugos ir sveikatos įstatymasE TAR. That unlicensed work is therefore a codified inspection violationE TAR. The 1 October 2026 date is the day the new violation and the new VDI function enter into forceE TAR. Employers facing exposed work therefore hold the valid permit referred to in Article 18(11) before the work startsE TAR: from that date, working without it is a written violation.

A separate provision restates VDI's market-surveillance role: point 8.3.23 provides that VDI performs the market-surveillance authority functions set in Regulation (EU) 2016/424 on cableway installationsE TAR, repealing Directive 2000/9/EC, as amended. Cableway-installation market operators whose equipment falls under that Regulation therefore deal with VDI as the surveillance authorityE TAR.

The structure of the change is administrative rather than substantive safety law: the order does not rewrite the asbestos permit or the Article 18(1) duties themselves, it rewrites the VDI statutes so that the inspectorate is the body carrying them out. Point 8.1.11(1) anchors the Article 18(1) functions inside the VDI function list, and point 21.8 anchors the unlicensed-work fact pattern inside the employer-inspection violation list. Practitioners reading the consolidated VDI statutes after 1 October 2026 therefore find both the competence to act on asbestos-permit matters and the violation to record when the permit is missing, in the same instrument that already organises VDI inspections of construction sites.

Legal basis: Socialinės apsaugos ir darbo ministras order No A1-584 of 24 September 2026E TAR amending order No A1-316 on the Valstybinė darbo inspekcija statutesE TAR; points 1.1 and 1.3 apply from 1 OctoberE TAR 2026E TAR.

Before starting the work, make sure you hold the valid permit to carry out construction work under asbestos exposure.
