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.

The European Commission has corrected the safeguard tariff-rate quota for ferro-manganese (CN codes 7202 11 and 7202 19) originating in Malaysia.Europa The 2022 import figure used to size Malaysia's quota was 581 tonnesEuropa; the correct figure is 41,279.3 tonnesEuropa. Nearly 40,700 tonnes of 2022 ferro-manganese imports from Malaysia had been declared confidential in the publicly available Eurostat statisticsEuropa and were missing from the calculationEuropa. Because in-quota volumes are set 25% below the average of 2022-2024 importsEuropa, the error understated Malaysia's quotaEuropa, and the Commission has recalculated it upwardEuropa.

Under order number 09.8819, the quarterly in-quota volumes for Malaysia are now 9,330.47 net tonnes for 18 November 2025 to 17 February 2026Europa, 9,026.21 net tonnes for 18 February to 17 May 2026Europa, and 9,330.47 net tonnes for each of the two quarters to 17 November 2026Europa. The annexed table continues the quarterly schedule through the second and third years of the measure to 17 November 2028, with the 0.1% annual liberalisation the safeguard provides for.

The correction applies from 18 November 2025Europa, the date the underlying safeguard took effectEuropa. Malaysian ferro-manganese entries released since that date that paid the out-of-quota charge but fall inside the enlarged quota were overchargedEuropa: amounts of import duty overcharged are repayable under Article 116 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 laying down the Union Customs CodeEuropa, so importers and their customs brokers should apply to the customs authorities for repayment of the excess duty. Within the quota, imports enter without the safeguard charge.Europa Once a quarterly quota is exhausted, the variable duty is the difference between the 1,316 EUR-per-tonne price threshold and the net free-at-Union-frontier price before duty, and no duty is due where the frontier price reaches the threshold. Drawings on each quarterly quota stop on the twentieth working day after the quarter ends, and unused balances do not carry forward to the next quarter.

The safeguard runs for three years to 17 November 2028, and Malaysia is among the developing countries subject to the measure for ferro-manganese. The correction is made by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2270 of 15 October 2026Europa, Article 1 replacing part of the Malaysia quota table in Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2351Europa and Article 2 fixing retroactive application from 18 November 2025Europa, adopted under Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2015/478 and Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2015/755.
