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.

North Rhine-Westphalia pay offices pay advances on 2026 civil-servant back pay with the December 2026 salary, for disbursement in late November.NRW NRW The advances cover higher child-related family allowances for rent level I and two one-off payments,NRW with every amount above the sums payable under the statutes in force subject to a later statute.NRW

Child-related Familienzuschlag amounts for Mietenstufe I rise retroactively to the Mietenstufe II level from 1 January 2026.NRW From 1 April 2026 the corrected amounts rise by a further 2.8%,NRW mirroring the regular 2.8% salary adjustment for the corrected amounts. The increase secures the minimum salary defined by 80% of the median equivalence income throughout 2026.

Back pay goes to recipients who received the Mietenstufe I allowance in that period.NRW The monthly amount comes from one table for January to March 2026 and a second table for April to December 2026.NRW A month counts only with entitlement to Besoldung on at least one day of that month.NRW

No timely-application bar applies to the 2026 back pay.NRW Entitlement exists even without an application for above-statutory pay or a Widerspruch in 2026,NRW departing from § 3 Absatz 7 Landesbesoldungsgesetz, because the adjustment statute of 21 July 2026 (GV. NRW. S. 474) suspended that rule for 2026 pending implementation of the constitutional-court decision below.NRW

Two one-off payments complete the package. Civil servants paid in 2021 under Besoldungsgruppe A 5 ohne Amtszulage receive 430 Euro for 2021,NRW NRW harmonising distances within Besoldungsordnung A for the 2026 distance requirement. No payment is due unless the above-statutory claim was asserted in writing during 2021, or where the asserted claim was already finally decided.NRW Civil servants entitled under Besoldungsgruppe W 1 at any point in 2026 receive 330 Euro for 2026,NRW NRW reflecting the follow-up review of pay growth against the nominal-wage index. The 2026 suspension of the timely-assertion rule also covers the W 1 payment.NRW

Each one-off payment falls by one twelfth for every month of the reference year without at least one day of entitlement in the qualifying group.NRW Part-time periods reduce amounts pro rata under § 8 Absatz 1 Landesbesoldungsgesetz;NRW limited fitness for duty follows § 9 Absatz 1 Landesbesoldungsgesetz with § 27 Beamtenstatusgesetz;NRW rounding follows § 3 Absatz 6 Landesbesoldungsgesetz. Holders of several paid principal offices under § 5 Landesbesoldungsgesetz receive each one-off payment only once.NRW

The advances rest on the 2026 state-budget authorisations for Chapter 20 020 titles 461 10 and 461 11.NRW Pay slips in the payout month carry a reservation note:NRW family-allowance recipients are told the back pay is subject to the Besoldungs- und Versorgungsrechtsneuausrichtungsgesetz,NRW recipients of the 2021 payment are told the one-off payment for 2021 is subject to the statute on one-off payments for 2021 and 2026,NRW and recipients of the 2026 payment are told the one-off payment for 2026 is subject to that same statute.NRW Gemeinden, Gemeindeverbände and other supervised public-law corporations, institutions and foundations should pay corresponding advances at the earliest opportunity.NRW

The background is the 13 October 2026 government bill for a Besoldungs- und Versorgungsrechtsneuausrichtungsgesetz,NRW introduced to the Landtag to implement the Federal Constitutional Court decision of 17 September 2025 (2 BvL 20/17 u.a.)NRW on appropriate alimentation,NRW with structural realignment from 1 January 2027.NRW For 2026 the bill provides only punctual retroactive corrections.NRW The advances apply from 1 November 2026 and expire on 28 February 2027.NRW

Legal basis: Landesbesoldungsgesetz §§ 3, 5, 8, 9, 42 to 44 with Anlage 13, the 2026 state-budget authorisations, the adjustment statute of 21 July 2026 (GV. NRW. S. 474), Beamtenstatusgesetz § 27, and the pending Besoldungs- und Versorgungsrechtsneuausrichtungsgesetz with the statute on one-off payments for 2021 and 2026.

Pay the advances with the December 2026 salaries under the stated reservation, check 2021 files for written A 5 claims, and have municipal employers advance promptly.
