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.

NAV can extend collective-redundancy freeze on two grounds

In force since 11 October 2026, a new regulation lets NAV extend the 30-day standstill on planned masseoppsigelser where no consultations happened or a deal is near — but never where wages cannot be paid.

Employers planning collective redundancies in Norway must reckon with a 30-day standstill: planned masseoppsigelser take effect at the earliest 30 days after Arbeids- og velferdsetaten (NAV) has been notifiedLovdata, and NAV may extend that standstillLovdata. Since 11 October 2026, a new regulation, Forskrift om forlengelse av fristen for masseoppsigelsers virkningLovdata (FOR-2026-10-11-2047Lovdata), lays down the conditions under which NAV extends the deadline in arbeidsmarkedsloven § 8 third paragraphLovdata.

NAV may grant the extension at the request of one of the parties or on its own initiativeLovdata where either of two conditions is met: no drøftinger took place between the employer and the tillitsvalgte during the original 30-day period, or there are very clear indications that the parties will reach an agreement within the next 30 daysLovdata.

One financial bar is absolute: NAV must not extend the deadline where the employer lacks the funds to cover wage paymentsLovdata. During an extended period NAV must remain neutralLovdata, but it may assist the parties in their efforts to reach an agreementLovdata.

The statutory frame around the extension still applies. The extension can add at most 30 daysLovdata and must serve reaching the agreement described in arbeidsmiljøloven § 15-2 second paragraphLovdata; it cannot be granted at all where the business ceases as a result of a court decision (rettsavgjørelse)Lovdata.

The backdrop is unchanged: masseoppsigelser means dismissals of at least 10 employees within 30 days that are not grounded in the circumstances of the individual employeesLovdata. An employer considering such dismissals must open consultations with the elected representatives as early as possibleLovdata and must notify NAV, with the prescribed information on grounds, numbers, groups and timetable, no later than when convening those consultationsLovdata.

The regulation states that it enters into force immediately (trer i kraft straks); the Lovdata record stamps it in force from 11 October 2026Lovdata. From the same dateLovdata it repeals the 1994 regulation on the use of deferral in collective redundancies and NAV's role in such deferral (forskrift 19. september 1994 nr. 897)Lovdata. Legal basis is arbeidsmarkedsloven § 8 and arbeidsmiljøloven § 20-2Lovdata; the regulation was adopted by Arbeids- og inkluderingsdepartementetLovdata on 11 October 2026Lovdata.

Before carrying out a masseoppsigelse, notify NAV no later than when convening drøftinger with the tillitsvalgte, and diary the 30-day standstill plus a possible 30-day NAV extension.
