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.

The Export Control (Amendment) Regulations 2026 update the United Kingdom's export control lists.Legislation They amend the Export Control Order 2008Legislation (law of the United Kingdom) and the assimilated Dual-Use Regulation, Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009Legislation (law of England, Wales and Scotland).

The UK Military List in Schedule 2 to the 2008 Order is updated to reflect changes agreed through the multilateral export control regimes, including the Wassenaar Arrangement and the Australia Group, with technical and drafting correctionsLegislation. Exporters of military goods, software and technology need an export authorisation where the updated list covers their items; exporters of newly controlled items may need to determine whether an authorisation is required and, where necessary, apply for a licence.

The dual-use list in Annex I to the assimilated Dual-Use Regulation is updated on the same basisLegislation. The update implements changes agreed through the multilateral regimes and a further tranche of controls on certain advanced and emerging technologies agreed with like-minded international partners for national security purposes, with technical corrections and clarifications. Dual-use goods, software and technology usable for both civil and military purposes require an export authorisation under Article 3 of the assimilated Dual-Use Regulation where the updated Annex I covers them.

Schedule 4 to the 2008 Order, which sets the countries subject to stricter export or trade controls, is amended for two destinations. Haiti moves from Part 3 to Part 2Legislation; the Central African Republic moves from Part 2 to Part 3Legislation. Part 2 covers embargoed destinations subject to transit control for military goods, while Part 3 covers destinations subject to transit control for military goods. The scope of controls therefore broadens for HaitiLegislation and narrows for the Central African RepublicLegislation, reflecting the current scope of the relevant arms embargoes under the UK sanctions regimes. For Haiti the Part 2 listing carries the embargoed-destination consequences including transit control for military goods; for the Central African Republic the Part 3 listing carries transit control for military goods only.

General Export Authorisation No 001 (GEA001) in Annex IIa to the assimilated Dual-Use Regulation is revoked in Great BritainLegislation. GEA001 had authorised exports of dual-use items to Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein) and the United States. It has been superseded by an open general export licence issued by the Secretary of State under the 2008 OrderLegislation. Exporters registered to use GEA001 on the date the instrument comes into force may continue to rely on it until 1 April 2027, subject to its termsLegislation. After that date they must export under an applicable individual licence or the replacement open general export licence, having registered with the Export Control Joint Unit and meeting all its conditionsLegislation.

In Northern Ireland the EU Dual-Use Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2021/821, continues to apply by virtue of the Windsor Framework. The equivalent Union General Export Authorisation EU001 continues to apply there alongside the relevant open general export licence, providing an alternative authorisation where the respective scopes overlap.

No formal public consultation was undertaken. No full Impact Assessment was prepared; the amendments are not expected to meet the 10 million annual net cost threshold. Guidance and the consolidated controlled-items list will be updated, with a Notice to Exporters before commencement.

Legal basis: Export Control Act 2002, the Export Control Order 2008 (Schedules 2 and 4) and the assimilated Dual-Use Regulation (Annexes I and IIa), as amended by the Export Control (Amendment) Regulations 2026 (2026 No. 1150).

Check whether your items or destinations are affected by the updated control lists and Schedule 4 changes and, if you export under GEA001, register for the replacement open general export licence before 1 April 2027.
