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.

EU extends Burundi sanctions to 31 October 2027

The EU's restrictive measures over the situation in Burundi will run for another year, until 31 October 2027Europa. Council Decision (CFSP) 2026/2197, adopted on 28 September 2026Europa and published in the Official Journal on 29 September 2026Europa, amends Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/1763Europa by replacing the expiry date of 31 October 2026Europa in the second paragraph of Article 6 with 31 October 2027. It enters into force on the day following publicationEuropa, so the renewed horizon applies from 30 September 2026Europa. Unlike the previous year's renewal, which also removed one person from the list, this act changes no listing: the Annex is untouchedEuropa.

What continues unchanged is the full Burundi toolbox under Decision (CFSP) 2015/1763. Member States must prevent the entry into, or transit through, their territories of the natural persons listed in the Annex — those designated as undermining democracy or obstructing the search for a political solution in Burundi, including by violence, repression or incitement, those involved in violations of international human rights or humanitarian law or serious human rights abuses there, and persons associated with them. The standard carve-outs continue: a Member State need not refuse its own nationals entry into its territory, obligations of international law such as hosting an intergovernmental organisation or a UN-convened conference apply, and humanitarian or intergovernmental-meeting travel exemptions follow the written Council notification procedure, with any authorisation strictly limited to its purpose and the persons directly concerned.

The asset freeze continues on the same terms. All funds and economic resources belonging to, owned, held or controlled by the listed persons, entities and bodies must remain frozen, and no funds or economic resources may be made available to them directly or indirectly. Competent authorities may still release funds for basic needs such as food, rent, medicines and taxes, for reasonable legal fees, for routine holding charges, and for extraordinary expenses on at least two weeks' notice to the other Member States and the Commission; a listed person may still make a payment due under a pre-listing contract where the Member State has determined no benefit flows to a listed person or entity. Payments that satisfy claims secured by a pre-listing arbitral, judicial or administrative decision follow the conditions of Article 2(4), and interest or pre-existing contractual payments credited to frozen accounts stay frozen.

The yearly rhythm matters for compliance planning: the Council renewed the regime to 31 October 2026 in September 2025 and now extends it by exactly one more year, keeping the listed-persons freeze and the travel restrictions in force without gap. Screening lists, authorisation calendars and client advisories that keyed on the October 2026 expiry must roll to 31 October 2027.

Legal basis: Council Decision (CFSP) 2026/2197 of 28 September 2026 amending Decision (CFSP) 2015/1763, whose travel restrictions and asset freeze sit in Articles 1 and 2 of the amended Decision.

Roll sanctions calendars and client advisories for Burundi from the 31 October 2026 expiry to 31 October 2027 and keep the travel restrictions and asset freeze in force without gap.
