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: Building of ships and boats

From 6 November 2026Lovdata, employers in the ship and yard industry must pay production, assembly and installation workers at least kr 232,55 per hour for fagarbeidereLovdata (up from kr 216,79), kr 221,95 for spesialarbeidereLovdata (up from kr 207,14) and kr 211,49 for hjelpearbeidereLovdata (up from kr 197,61). The new rates come in Tariffnemnda's FOR-2026-10-22-2229Lovdata Lovdata, adopted 22 October 2026Lovdata, which replaces the 2024 shipyard regulationLovdata and extends the binding minimum to Longyearbyen and Ny-Ålesund on SvalbardLovdata.

The regulation covers fagarbeidere, spesialarbeidere and hjelpearbeidere doing production, assembly and installation work in skips- og verftsindustrien: a fagarbeider holds a publicly approved fag- or svennebrev or formally equivalent competence in the field; a spesialarbeider is over 18 with enough practice to run equipment and machinery independently or to perform other specialised work forming a necessary part of production; a hjelpearbeider does simpler production work without meeting that test. Lærlinger and persons on arbeidsmarkedstiltak are excluded. The employer, or whoever manages the work in the employer's place, must ensure the provisions are implemented.

Workers sent from their plant or fixed workplace on assignments requiring overnight stays keep an hourly supplement of kr 46,51 for fagarbeidere (was kr 43,36), kr 44,39 for spesialarbeidere (was kr 41,43) and kr 42,30 for hjelpearbeidere (was kr 39,52). Workers employed on reisebetingelser, presupposing work at varying sites, earn the same supplements when the assignment requires overnight stays.

Shift supplements rise in step. For two-shift work: second shift kr 22,75 to kr 24,98; work after kl. 14.00 on days before Sundays and holidays kr 48,61 to kr 53,37; from kl. 14.00 on Christmas, New Year, Easter and Whitsun eves kr 69,69 to kr 76,52; every hour past kl. 24.00 at the third-shift rate, kr 34,93 to kr 38,35. For three-shift work: kr 23,45 to kr 25,75 and kr 34,93 to kr 38,35, with pre-holiday work kr 50,02 to kr 54,92 and eves kr 71,66 to kr 78,68. For continuous three-shift work: kr 24,85 to kr 27,29 and kr 36,86 to kr 40,47, pre-holiday kr 52,81 to kr 57,99 and eves kr 75,72 to kr 83,14. The recalculation table from the 37,5-hour week (2,74, 5,63 and 11,61 per cent, based on the regulation's grunnlønn) is unchanged.

Ordinary working time may not exceed 37,5 hours per week, with shift averages of 36,5, 35,5 and 33,6; other arrangements follow lov 17. juni 2005 nr. 62 om arbeidsmiljø, arbeidstid og stillingsvern kap. 10. Overtime carries 50 per cent of the hourly rate in § 3 first paragraph, and 100 per cent between kl. 21.00 and kl. 06.00 and on Sundays and holidays.

An employer sending workers outside the plant or fixed workplace where overnight stays are needed covers necessary domestic travel expenses at the start and end of the assignment; board and lodging must be agreed before departure, with the employer as the main rule providing kost og losji or covering costs through a fixed diett rate or payment against receipts, including for workers on reisebetingelser. The employer provides necessary vareklær og arbeidstøy, adapted for women and men where a unisex model is unsatisfactory, subject to HMS requirements and practical and economic feasibility. Workers covered overall by more favourable pay and working conditions under agreement or applicable law fall outside the regulation. The incoming FOR-2026-10-22-2229 carries no counterpart to § 4 of FOR-2024-10-21-2535, under which Tariffnemnda could adjust the § 3 rates following tariff revisions. FOR-2024-10-21-2535 is repealed on the new regulation's entry into forceLovdata. Legal basis is lov 4. juni 1993 nr. 58 om allmenngjøring av tariffavtaler m.v. (allmenngjøringsloven) § 5, under which Tariffnemnda adopts such regulations.

Pay shipyard production, assembly and installation workers the new hourly minima and supplements from 6 November 2026, including Svalbard assignments.
