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.

SAS COSMOSPACE of Valbonne Sophia Antipolis has rewritten the overtime-quota rules of its 25 January 2019 working-time accord, as amended on 26 April 2019. Amendment No 2 of 18 September 2026Legifrance, concluded with the elected Comité Social et Économique members who won 100% of votes in the second round of the 25 January 2024 elections, follows consultation meetings on 25 June and 17 September 2026. The preamble says overtime has become broadly accepted by staff, so the old start-up procedure in Article 2.2 is obsolete, but exit measures must remain. The amendment runs for an indefinite term from the first day of the calendar month after approval by the staff delegatesLegifrance, and company-level stipulations prevail over higher-level agreements and earlier working-time accords.

It applies to all company employees on open-ended or fixed-term contracts, full-time or part-timeLegifrance, and also to assigned staff such as agency workers (intérimaires)Legifrance since they follow the user's collective schedule. The rules on maximum working time also apply to employees holding several jobs. Only Article 2.2 on overtime is changedLegifrance; the Article 2.2.1 quota volume left to the employer's initiative, and the Article 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 uplift rules for technicians and for office staff, are untouched.

The employer may henceforth freely impose overtime across the whole Article 2.2.1 annual quota per calendar year per employee.Legifrance Against that, each employee may ask to cap the employer's use of overtime to reconcile work and private lifeLegifrance: a written request handed to the employer or HR with a copy to the CSE secretary caps overtime at 200 hours per calendar yearLegifrance. The cap takes effect after a 12-week notice period from receiptLegifrance, during which the employer keeps full freedom to schedule overtime so other staff can be reorganised. Exceeding 200 hours after a request gives no right to recovery time. Even after a cap request, the employer may still use overtime above 200 hours in emergenciesLegifrance, including workload after material damage such as flooding or fire, or after IT failures that suspended communications.

The amendment is filed electronically on the Ministry of Labour's teleprocedure platform, with one copy at the Grasse conseil de prud'hommes registry, one copy posted for staff, and one copy in the company's economic, social and environmental database. Legal basis: avenant n° 2 du 18 septembre 2026 à l'accord d'entreprise du 25 janvier 2019 portant sur le temps de travail of SAS COSMOSPACE, Chapters 1 to 3.Legifrance

To cap your overtime at 200 hours a year, hand a written request to HR with a copy to the CSE secretary and allow 12 weeks' notice.
