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.

The government has declared an emergency in agriculture across the whole of LatviaVID, running until 10 January 2027VID, to limit the damage caused by the prolonged and intense rainfall of summer and early autumn 2026 and the resulting waterlogging, which made it impossible to bring in the harvest fully and to carry out other seasonal farm work. The emergency counts as force majeure (nepārvaramas varas apstākļi)VID, and that classification opens two concrete support routes for farmers whose business was affected and who have struggled to pay their current taxes on time and in full.

Farmers with overdue tax can ask for an extension of the payment deadline of up to 12 monthsVID under Section 24, Paragraph one, Point 4 of the likums "Par nodokļiem un nodevām". While the agreed payment schedule is being performed, no nokavējuma nauda is chargedVID. The application to the Valsts ieņēmumu dienests (VID) should be filed as soon as possible and must describe the concrete situation: the circumstances, transactions and other facts through which the adverse conditions affected the business and the ability to pay.

A second route covers farmers who already hold a VID-granted payment extension but whose ability to meet it has been hit by the force-majeure conditions. They may have the remaining unpaid amount re-split over time, extending the arrangement up to five yearsVID under Section 24, Paragraph 1.7 of the same law. That application must reach VID before the last payment date under the current scheduleVID. Unlike the 12-month route, late-payment interest keeps accruing during this re-extended period at 0.0125% per delayed dayVID, the same rate as in ordinary extensions.

VID also urges farmers who are still paying on time and in full not to wait: at the first sign of difficulty meeting an obligation, they should contact VID before the payment deadline arrives, so that late-interest accrual never starts.

Applications are filed online in the VID elektroniskās deklarēšanas sistēma (EDS), under "Dokumenti" – "Izveidot jaunu dokumentu" – "Pēc dokumentu grupas" – "Iesniegumi" – "Iesniegums samaksas termiņa pagarinājuma piešķiršanai". The form is a questionnaire asking for the required information. An extension does not release the taxpayer from the duty to keep paying current taxes in full and on the statutory datesVID. VID decides on granting or refusing an extension within one month of receiving the applicationVID. Questions go to the VID advisory line +37167120000 or via "Saziņa ar VID" in EDS.

Legal basis: likums "Par nodokļiem un nodevām", 24. panta pirmās daļas 4. punkts and 24. panta 1.7 daļa.

If 2026 rainfall and waterlogging hit your farm's ability to pay tax, file the payment-extension application in EDS as soon as possible, and before the deadline if you already hold an extension.
