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.

Vero has re-issued its Finnish guidance on reporting fringe benefits and expense reimbursements to the incomes registerVero, with the new version applying from 1 January 2027Vero. The rewrite, published on 30 October 2026, converts the bicycle-benefit chapter from the tax-free era to the taxable one, adds a new chapter on employer-paid electric-car charging, requires benefits to be reported through unpaid leave, and makes the benefit-type detail compulsory on the general other-benefit income type. The Swedish-language page has been reduced to a placeholder pending translation.

The new chapter 1.3.1 closes the charging-benefit gap. The temporary exemption for employer-provided charging of fully electric and hybrid cars expired at the end of 2025Vero, so from the start of 2026 an employer-paid charging benefit is the recipient's taxable incomeVero. It is filed under income type Muu luontoisetu (317)Vero with Edun tyyppi given as Muut edut. The benefit value is reported in full on its own income type, and any share of the charging benefit the employer collects from the employee net pay is filed separately under Muista luontoiseduista peritty korvaus (407)Vero. Valuation detail sits in the Luontoisedut verotuksessa guidance.

The bicycle-benefit chapter now assumes taxability. Parliament repealed the tax-free bicycle-benefit provision with effect from 1 January 2026Finlex, so benefits committed on or after 24 April 2025 are taxable at fair valueVero; only commitments made before that date keep tax-free treatment up to 1,200 euro a year until the end of the contract period, for at most five yearsVero. The reporting guidance for the tax-free benefit has been removed from this version — for 2025 filings it points to the archived 4 November 2024 version — and the chapter covers the taxable case: the benefit is reported for the months it has been available to the employee as income for the pay period in which payroll processed itVero, with the taxable amount filed monthly under Polkupyöräedun palkaksi katsottu osuus (364)Vero and compensation collected from the employee deducted from it and filed under Polkupyöräedusta peritty korvaus (420)Vero. A bicycle benefit delivered by reducing contractual cash pay is reported like a benefit granted on top of salary. Combined commuter-ticket and bicycle arrangements keep the shared 3,400 euro ceiling only for pre-24 April 2025 commitments.Vero

Benefits stay on the register during unpaid leave: any benefit at the employee's disposal, including the bicycle, must be reported monthly through furloughs, alternation leave and other unpaid absenceVero, with the cash-pay reduction taken before or after the leave and the substitute-payer income types 322 to 324 used so the pension and insurance funds receive the correct earnings. Tax-free staff perks (henkilökuntaedut) are not reported at all.Vero Where the recipient appeals their data, the corrections procedure in Tietojen korjaaminen tulorekisterissä applies, and every income type 317 filing carries the Edun tyyppi detail, such as Asuntoetu or Muu etu.

Legal basis: Vero guidance Tietojen ilmoittaminen tulorekisteriin: luontoisedut ja kustannusten korvaukset (valid 1.1.2027); Tuloverolaki 64 §, with the tax-free bicycle-benefit rule repealed from 1 January 2026Vero.

Update payroll income-type mappings for 2027: file taxable bicycle benefits monthly under 364 (collections under 420), EV charging under 317 with benefit type Muut edut, and stop filing tax-free staff perks.
