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.

Estonia's Tax and Customs Board has published the rulebook for the excise-stamp system that takes over when the national alcohol register closes: from 1 November 2026, alcohol data in the stamp system MAISEmta is prefilled from a company-level product ID instead of the ALKOR registration numberEmta.

The national alcohol register ALKOR ceases activityEmta on 1 NovEmtaember 2026Emta, with the previous requirements applying until 31 October 2026Emta. From that date, MAIS users prefill alcohol-product data with the unique MAIS product ID (toote ID)Emta, assigned automatically once a product sits in the MAIS product registerEmta. Each company maintains its own list. The stamping duty itself does not changeEmta: alcohol with ethanol content above 22 percent by volumeEmta in retail packaging of at least 0.05 litresEmta must be stampedEmta.

The transition paper "Üleminek MAISi toote ID-le ja KKK" states the cutover plainly: until 31 October 2026 MAIS alcohol procedures use the ALKOR registration numberEmta, and from 1 November 2026 the MAIS product ID replaces it in MAIS operations, including prefilling of alcohol dataEmta. The alcohol-registration notice form disappears from the client view on 1 November 2026Emta and can no longer be usedEmta. Reports show earlier ALKOR numbers alongside the new IDs, searchable by either.

The timing matters now. Products can be added to the MAIS alcohol-product register, through the user interface or by XML or CSV uploadEmta, since 5 October 2026Emta; downloading the list with the assigned IDs is possible since 15 October 2026Emta; and the product ID is usable in system operations from 1 November 2026Emta. The board advises against leaving documents half-done over the cutover: finish procedures started in October within October where possible, make sure affixing notices cover registered alcohol (stamps tied to ALKOR-numbered alcohol), or file new product-ID-based affixing notices in NovemberEmta.

Two edge cases carry a real correction duty. A trader who filed an affixing notice before 1 November 2026 without using an ALKOR number, entering the alcohol data by hand, must correct that noticeEmta before filing a dispatch noticeEmta and link the stamps to the matching MAIS product ID from the product listEmta. Unregistered alcohol — with neither an earlier ALKOR number nor a MAIS product ID — cannot be dispatched into consumption or to another excise warehouse after 1 November 2026Emta. Notices filed with an ALKOR number and dispatched after the cutover continue normallyEmta, as do corrections of dispatch noticesEmta.A warehouse receiving stamped alcohol that was affixed before the cutover to a product with no ALKOR link must unwind the chain: the sender cancels the warehouse-dispatch notice, corrects the affixing notice to bind the stamps to a MAIS product ID, and re-files the dispatch.Emta

The manual confirms the hard edge behind the cutover: stamps must be affixed to the product within 90 days of receiptEmta, extendable once by 90 daysEmta, and unconfirmed stamps trigger excise liabilityEmta plus an invalidation requestEmta. Dispatch corrections stay within the current or previous calendar month and no later than the 20thEmta; excise refunds cannot be filed in MAISEmta and go signed to maksumargid@emta.eeEmta.

For excise stamp holders — warehousekeepers, registered and certified consignees and importers — the action is immediateEmta: register the stampable alcohol portfolio in MAIS before the November operations beginEmta, keep October procedures closedEmta, and route corrections through the product-ID linkage the Q&A prescribesEmta.

Legal basis: Maksu- ja Tolliamet, "Alkoholiregistri lõpetamisega seotud maksumärkide süsteemi MAIS muudatused alates 01.11.2026" and "Üleminek MAISi toote ID-le ja KKK" (cutover 01.11.2026Emta, registration from 05.10.2026Emta, download from 15.10.2026Emta); Maksumärkide infosüsteemi kasutusjuhend 01.11.2026, §§ 4.1, 5.3–5.8.

Register the stampable alcohol portfolio in MAIS before the November operations begin, close procedures started in October within October, and link corrections to the MAIS product ID as the Q&A prescribes.
