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.

A Union handling fee of EUR 2 per item applies from 1 NovemberTulli 2026Tulli to goods sold in distance sales from third countries to customers in the customs territory of the UnionEuropa. The fee is a fixed amount per item for handling the request to place the goods under the release for free circulation procedure, and it covers the approximate costs of data verification, risk analysis, controls and related infrastructure, including services of the EU Customs Authority. In Finland this means every online purchase arriving from outside the EU carries the two-euro fee from November, whatever the value of the purchaseTulli.

The fee is paid per goods item at clearanceTulli. Goods that are alike, carry the same commodity code and in certain cases share the same country of origin may be declared as one item. The fee is collected when the goods are cleared: where the seller belongs to the IOSS system, in which the customer already pays Finnish VAT to the seller at purchase, the seller or the seller's representative, usually the carrier, clears the parcel and also pays the handling feeTulli. Tulli's fee is separate from Posti's handling fee, which is payable only where Posti carries the parcel and import taxes fall due at clearance.

From November, consignments of up to EUR 150 arriving from outside the EU must also declare product identifiersTulli. Three identifiers are required for the product at clearance: the standardised manufacturer identifier received from the seller, such as an EAN code or ISBN, the non-standardised manufacturer identifier from the seller, such as a model or article number, and the seller's own product identifierTulli. No action is needed where the seller belongs to IOSSTulli, because the customer then does not clear the parcel themselvesTulli. Otherwise the identifiers are best captured already at purchase, for example from the order confirmation or the seller's website.

The identifiers let goods carried in e-commerce be identified and traced better than before and help find goods that breach requirements; a significant share of online purchases ordered from outside the EU currently fails EU product-safety requirements. Since July, customs duty has also been payable on all online purchases arriving from outside the EU. The changes curb the rapid growth of low-value import consignments and the harmful effects of overconsumption, and they form part of the wider EU customs reform implemented in stages.

Online buyers should expect the two-euro charge per item on every non-EU parcel cleared from NovemberTulli and keep the three product identifiers at hand when they clear the parcel themselvesTulli; IOSS sellers and their representatives, who clear the parcel on the buyer's behalfTulli, should ensure their clearance processes collect the fee. Legal basis: Regulation (EU) 2026/2108 Article 20 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/2152 Articles 1–2.

Expect the EUR 2 charge per item on non-EU parcels cleared from November and have the three product identifiers ready when clearing the parcel yourself.
