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.

Private businesses selling cleaning services must pay cleaners at least kroner 247,29 per hourLovdata from 6 NovemberLovdata 2026Lovdata. Workers under 18 years old must receive at least kroner 196,05 per hourLovdata. The previous minimum rates were kroner 236,54 per hourLovdata and kroner 185,55 per hour for workers under 18Lovdata. The supplement for work between 21:00 and 06:00 continues unchanged: pay for night hours is agreed in each case and must be at least kroner 29 per hour on top of the hourly minimum.

The minimum rates apply to employees of private companies that sell cleaning services and who perform cleaning workLovdata. Employers, and anyone managing such work on the employer's behalf, must ensure the requirements are met. Employees in companies bound by a collective agreement concluded with a union holding the right of nomination fall outside the extended rulesLovdata. Employees in companies bound by the Overenskomst for renholdsbedrifter 2026–2028 between Næringslivets Hovedorganisasjon and NHO Service og Handel on one side and Landsorganisasjonen i Norge and Norsk Arbeidsmandsforbund on the other are nevertheless covered, except that the wage provisions in § 3 do not apply in businesses practising the rammetimetall schemeLovdata. Apprentices under Reform 94 and persons on labour-market measures are not coveredLovdata.

Travel time between consecutive assignments counts as working time or is paid separately for the time spent moving between jobs. The exception is employees in companies bound by the cleaning-companies collective agreement who are covered by the rammetimetall scheme. Additional costs the employee incurs in connection with travel between assignments are covered by agreement.

Where an assignment requires overnight accommodation away from home, the employer pays necessary travel expenses at the start and end of the assignment. Before sending an employee on an assignment outside their home area, the employer must agree arrangements for board and lodging; as a main rule the employer provides board and lodging, but may instead cover costs through a fixed diet rate, payment against receipts or similar. The employer provides necessary workwear and footwear suited to the workplace and the work.

The regulation also applies in Longyearbyen and Ny-Ålesund on SvalbardLovdata, which extends the minimum-terms regime beyond mainland Norway. It does not apply where the employee is already covered overall by more favourable wage and working conditions under agreement or under the law otherwise governing the employment relationshipLovdata. Forskrift 21. oktober 2024 nr. 2545 om delvis allmenngjøring av tariffavtale for renholdsbedrifter is repealedLovdata with effect from the same dateLovdata.
