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.

Confectionery, chocolate and biscuit retailers get an updated exceptional-leave scale. Avenant n° 3 of 24 October 2025Legifrance to the Convention collective nationale des détaillants et détaillants-fabricants de la confiserie, chocolaterie, biscuiterie of 1 January 1984 (IDCC 1286)Legifrance rewrites article 35 (absences rémunérées exceptionnelles)Legifrance to align it with loi n° 2023-622 of 19 July 2023Legifrance on families of children with an illness, disability or victims of a particularly serious accident. Employees receive, on production of supporting documents: 7 calendar days for their own marriage or PACSLegifrance; 2 working days for a child's marriageLegifrance; 3 working days for a birth or adoptionLegifrance; 12 working days for the death of a child, rising to 14 working days where the child was under 25 or was themselves a parent regardless of ageLegifrance; 14 working days for the death of a person under 25 in the employee's effective and permanent careLegifrance; an 8-working-day bereavement leave on the death of a child under 25 or a dependant under 25, usable within one year of the deathLegifrance; 3 working days for the death of a spouse, partner, parent, parent-in-law, brother or sisterLegifrance; and 5 working days for the announcement of a disability, a chronic condition requiring learning, or cancer in a childLegifrance.

The article adds paid absence authorisations for employees expecting a child, starting a parcours de procréation médicalement assistée or beginning an adoption procedure, to attend the mandatory medical examinations or interviews under article L. 1225-16 of the code du travailLegifrance: no pay reduction; the avenant assimilates them to a period of effective work for determining the duration of paid leave and with regard to the statutory and branch rights the employee derives from seniority in the undertaking. The extension order of 23 September 2026Legifrance excludes the birth/adoption timing words (within 15 days of the event) from extension as contrary to the codeLegifrance, under which birth or adoption leave is taken on the day of the event, the next working day, or after paid leave, with no fifteen-day limitLegifrance.

The avenant is concluded for an indefinite period, applies to the whole branch regardless of size — the branch being overwhelmingly undertakings with fewer than 50 employees — with a review of its application after 5 years, and enters into force the day after publication in the Journal officiel of its extension order.

Legal basis: avenant n° 3 du 24 octobre 2025 relatif aux congés payés, maladie et accident (chapitre III)Legifrance, Convention collective nationale des détaillants et détaillants-fabricants de la confiserie, chocolaterie, biscuiterie du 1er janvier 1984Legifrance, extended by arrêté du 23 septembre 2026Legifrance.

Update the branch leave table to the new article 35 scales — including the 14-day child-death cases, the 8-day bereavement leave usable within a year, and the PMA/adoption examination absences — and apply the statutory birth/adoption timing, not the excluded fifteen-day wording.
