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.

Online goods declaration limit for cider rises to 110 litres

HMRC lifts the online-service upper thresholds for cider and both sparkling-cider bands from 20 to 110 litres, and drops the separate sparkling-wine row.

HMRC has changed the upper-threshold table in its guidance on simplified rates for bringing personal goods into the UK, altering how much alcohol travellers can declare through the online service when they go over their personal allowances.

The limits for cider and both sparkling-cider categories rise from 20 litres to 110 litres eachGOV: cider itself, sparkling cider of an alcoholic strength not exceeding 5.5% alcohol by volume, and sparkling cider exceeding 5.5% but less than 8.5% alcohol by volume now each carry a 110-litre upper thresholdGOV. At 110 litres each, cider and both sparkling-cider bands sit alongside beer, which remains at 110 litres.

The table also renames 'Still wine' to 'Wine', keeping its 90-litre threshold, and drops the separate 'Sparkling wine — 60 litres' row, so sparkling wine no longer has its own entry in the upper-thresholds tableGOV. The heading of the table changes from 'Alcoholic beverages and alcohol' to 'Alcoholic products'.

The consequence is practical: within the online service, a traveller over their personal allowance can now declare up to 110 litres each of cider and the two sparkling-cider bandsGOV, where the old table capped each at 20 litres. Anyone going over the upper thresholds must instead declare all their goods to Border Force on arrival in the UK. Untouched rows include other fermented products at 20 litres and spirits at 10 litres, and the tobacco thresholds are unchanged.

The wider choice the page describes is unchanged: using the online service means choosing simplified customs and excise duty rates rather than customs tariff rates and the main Alcohol Duty and Tobacco Products Duty rates, and a traveller who thinks the online service does not give the best overall outcome can instead make an oral declaration to Border Force on arrival, with the tariff and main duty rates then applying to all the goods declared.

Legal basis: HMRC guidance 'Simplified rates for bringing personal goods into the UK', 'Alcohol and tobacco upper thresholds' table.

Travellers bringing more than 110 litres of cider or sparkling cider per band should declare to Border Force on arrival rather than using the online service.
