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.

Heirs of a property still in succession-induced indivision must pay the taxe foncière every year, even while the assessment still arrives in the deceased person's name.Service Public The service-public page « Impôts locaux : qui doit payer la taxe foncière en cas d'indivision ? », verified 2 October 2026, adds the rule explicitly: until the settlement of the succession is finished, the tax is due each year despite the notice remaining in the deceased's name.Service Public The year-of-death tax is a debt of the successionService Public, payable by the heir or heirs for the whole yearService Public — illustrated by a new example in which the September 2026 notice still names a Mr Michel who died on 12 July 2026, with the 2026 tax payable in full in his place.

Where the deceased leaves a surviving spouse receiving the usufruit of the property, the usufructuary in principle pays the taxe foncière.Service Public The settling notary may pay the whole tax where every heir agrees and authorises drawing on the succession's available funds. The notice goes to the new owner only once the change of ownership has been published with the service de publicité foncière and recorded by the cadastre — formalities the notary handles when signing the attestation de propriété immobilière.

For heirs and notaries, the operational points are to budget the full yearly tax for every year the succession remains unsettled, to collect each heir's agreement before the notary advances the payment from succession funds, and to have the paying heir recover the co-heirs' shares. A notice still in the deceased's name changes nothing about payment.

Legal basis: service-public.fr, « Impôts locaux : qui doit payer la taxe foncière en cas d'indivision ? », verified 02/10/2026; succession-indivision rule that estate property belongs to all heirs until partition.

Budget the full yearly taxe foncière for every year the succession stays unsettled and have every heir approve any notarial advance.
