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.

English further education colleges in the 2026 to 2027 financial-data dry run face an earlier Quarter 3 deadlineGOV. The Quarter 3 collection, covering October to December 2026 dataGOV, still opens on 18 January 2027GOV but now closes on 12 February 2027GOV, seven days earlier than the previously stated 19 February 2027GOV GOV. Other timetable entries and all wording are unchanged.

The dry run tests the processes colleges and the Department for Education need for central-government financial reporting after the Office for National Statistics reclassified colleges and subsidiaries into the central government sector in 2022. Colleges submit granular actual spend data through the government financial year, which runs from 1 April to 31 March, using a single data collection workbook across the full twelve months.

The full 2026 to 2027 submission timetable is now: Quarter 1 for April to June 2026, opened 1 July 2026 and closed 28 August 2026; Quarter 2 for July to September 2026, opened 1 October 2026 and closes 20 November 2026; Quarter 3 for October to December 2026, opens 18 January 2027 and closes 12 February 2027GOV; Quarter 4 for January to March 2027, opens 19 April 2027 and closes 21 May 2027. Each submission covers three months, so only the tabs for the applicable quarter should be completed.

Preparation centres on mapping local account codes to the standardised Department chart of accounts using the mapping worksheets in the workbook, with detailed instructions in the mapping section of the 45-page FE financial reporting dry run guidance for April 2026 to March 2027. The mapping exercise generally needs to be done once and updated only when new codes enter the finance system. Completed workbooks go through the Submit financial data for further education colleges online service, with submission detail in the guidance.

Support remains through refresher sessions ahead of collections, 45-minute drop-in sessions during the Quarter 2 window on 13 October, 27 October, 10 November and 19 November 2026 with registration by Eventbrite, and the customer help portal under Data returns, collections and requests, Financial returns, Submit financial data for further education colleges.

The dates in this story are those in the Department for Education FE data-collection dry run 2026 to 2027 submission timetable, with the Quarter 3 collection closing 12 February 2027.

Move the Quarter 3 dry-run filing deadline forward to 12 February 2027 and complete chart-of-accounts mapping in time for the 18 January opening.
