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.

Industry: Manufacture of tobacco products

Producers and importers placing filtered tobacco products on the Lithuanian market now have fixed shares for working out how much of that product ends up as waste in public collection systems and how much ends up as litter.E TAR

The order covers tabako gaminiai su filtrais ir (ar) filtrai, parduodami naudoti kartu su tabako gaminiais — tobacco products with filters and filters sold for use together with tobacco products.E TAR The percentages apply to the weight calculation that underpins the financing duty in Atliekų tvarkymo įstatymo 34(32) straipsnio 4 dalisE TAR: the weight of such waste discarded into public collection systems and of litterE TAR, which in turn sets the financing amountE TAR.

The first reference share is 36 procentai.E TAR That is the proportion of all such products placed on the Lithuanian market that is treated as consumed in public places.E TAR The order lists those places: public beaches, water bodies and their shores, forests, parks, squares, sites, stops, roadsides and similar places administered by a municipality.E TAR Only consumption in those municipally administered public places feeds the calculation; consumption elsewhere does not enter through this share.E TAR

The second and third shares split that public-place quantity.E TAR Seventy-nine procentai of the quantity identified under the 36 procentai share is treated as discarded into public collection systemsE TAR, meaning it becomes waste discarded into public collection systems. Twenty-one procentas of the same base quantity is treated as improperly discarded, meaning it becomes litter.E TAR The two shares add to the whole of the public-place quantityE TAR, so every unit consumed in a public place is allocated either to a public collection system or to litter, with no residual.E TAR

The order states that these reference numbers apply twice: for 2023–2025 and for 2026–2028E TAR, when determining the weight of waste discarded into public collection systems and of litter on which the Atliekų tvarkymo įstatymo 34(32) straipsnio 4 dalis financing is basedE TAR. A producer or importer therefore applies the same 36, 79 and 21 procentai shares to volumes for the closed 2023–2025 periodE TAR and to volumes for the current 2026–2028 periodE TAR. The order itself is dated 2026 m. spalio 26 d. Nr. D1-192E TAR and was signed by the environment ministerE TAR.

In practice, a tax, finance or audit team computes the financing base by taking the volume it placed on the market, applying 36 procentai to isolate the public-place share, then applying 79 procentai to that share for the public-collection weight and 21 procentas for the litter weight. Environmental-levy and extended producer responsibility advisers use the same two weights when reconciling client calculations with the statutory financing duty.

Legal basis is Lietuvos Respublikos aplinkos ministro 2026 m. spalio 26 d. įsakymas Nr. D1-192 Dėl referencinių skaičių nustatymoE TAR, adopted under Lietuvos Respublikos atliekų tvarkymo įstatymo 34(32) straipsnio 7 dalisE TAR for the financing in 34(32) straipsnio 4 dalisE TAR.

Apply the 36%, 79% and 21% shares to market volumes to compute the public-collection and litter weights for the 2023–2025 and 2026–2028 financing.
