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.

Garlic and rice quota licences: apply 1 to 6 November 2026

Importers of garlic and rice face a one-week licence-application window. Three quota notices under the same tariff-quota regime invite applications received between 1 November 2026 and 5pm on 6 November 2026: Notice to Traders 79/26 for garlic from countries other than China and EU Member StatesGOV, Notice to Traders 80/26 for garlic from ChinaGOV, and Notice to Traders 81/26 for riceGOV, all under Statutory Instrument 2020 No. 1432GOV.

Each notice puts responsibility on the applicant for correctness at submissionGOV. Applications with all supporting documentation must be correct when lodgedGOV, and the garlic notice for other origins expressly extends that duty to the securityGOV. Traders should therefore verify quantities, documents and security before the 5pm deadline on 6 November.

The framework behind the window is the licensing regime in the Customs (Tariff Quotas) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020Legislation. Regulation 22 allows the Secretary of State to publish notices inviting import-licence applications that specify the available quantity for the quota concerned, and total invitations for a quota period cannot exceed the quota volume. Available quantities may carry conversion factors for quotas marked CF1 or CF2.

A licence is granted only if the quantity applied for does not exceed the available quantity, the applicant is an operator, the application follows the application procedure and a security is lodgedLegislation. An operator is a person registered for VAT in the United KingdomLegislation and established there, through residence, a registered office or a permanent place of businessLegislation. Depending on the Licensing Table entry for the quota, applicants may also need reference-quantity compliance, proof of origin declarations, proof of trade, certificates of authenticity, Inward Monitoring Arrangement certificates, declarations of independence or export certificatesLegislation, and the Secretary of State may require further verification evidence.

Goods qualify for the quota rate only if the commodity code is listed, the origin matches any specified country, the set conditions are met, imports stay within the quota volume and a quota-benefit request accompanies the customs declaration. The quota duty rate then applies on declaration where a valid import licence is held, limited to the quota volumeLegislation.

Garlic importers should identify the correct notice by origin, rice importers should use the rice notice, and all applicants should lodge within the 1 to 6 November window as VAT-registered UK operators with complete documents and security.

The legal basis is the Customs (Tariff Quotas) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/1432) cited in Notices to Traders 79/26, 80/26 and 81/26, which set the 1 to 6 November 2026 window.

Lodge the garlic or rice quota-licence application between 1 November and 5pm on 6 November 2026 with complete documents and security as a VAT-registered UK operator.
