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.

An employer ending employment in Estonia must record two facts in the Töötamise register: the date employment endedEmta and the basis on which it endedEmta. An entry with only one of them is incomplete.Emta The date is the day work under an employment contract stopped, the day a võlaõiguslik leping ended, the day of release from public service, or the day a person's tax liability moved to another state.Emta

When the employer is dissolved or the employee dies, the employer does not file the closure.Emta Employment is then closed automaticallyEmta on the basis of äriregister or rahvastikuregister dataEmta. Entries in the register are made against those official registers, alongside the agreement between the parties, court decisions and tax decisions, so a dissolution or death recorded there closes the employment without a separate filingEmta.

A fixed-term entry is turned into an indefinite one inside e-MTA by opening the registered employment, choosing Muuda, deleting the end date and removing the termination basis by selecting Vali lõpetamise alus, then confirming with Kinnita. When details of employment change, the register currently offers no field for the moment the agreed change takes effect, so the change is recorded without a separate effective date.

The recorded basis must reflect the real reason for the endingEmta because register data decides social guarantees. Where an employer ended a contract under Töölepingu seadus § 85 lõige 4, that detailed provision is not offered as a basis in the registerEmta; the entry uses TLS § 85 lõige 1Emta. The distinction matters only for Eesti Töötukassa decisions on unemployment insurance benefits and carries no substantive legal difference in outcome.

Responsibility for correctness sits with the person who made the entryRiigiteataja, and a mistake must be corrected without delayRiigiteataja. A faulty entry can be corrected electronically by the work enablerRiigiteataja within three months from the start, suspension or termination dateEmta. After three months a correction needs a reasoned request to the responsible processor with evidenceRiigiteataja, filed within 14 days after the need to amend became knownRiigiteataja, and the processor decides within 30 daysRiigiteataja. A correction may be refused when it is not justified.

The duty to register sits with the work enablerRiigiteataja, covering start, suspension, termination and type of employmentRiigiteataja. Starting work is registered no later than the moment work startsRiigiteataja; suspension and termination are registered within ten days after the suspension or termination dayRiigiteataja. If registration is missed, Maksu- ja Tolliamet or Tööinspektsioon can set an additional deadline with a warning, and continued failure can bring a sunniraha of up to 3,300 euro in total, no more than 1,300 euro the first time and 2,000 euro the second time. Töötukassa takes data for unemployment insurance стаж from the register for employments that started on or after 1 July 2014Emta, so for earlier periods an employee may still need to present a document proving the relationshipEmta.

Legal basis: Maksukorralduse seadus §§ 251, 252 and 255–258 together with Töölepingu seadus § 85 lõige 1Emta, entered in the register also where the contract was ended under § 85 lõige 4Emta.

When ending employment, enter both the end date and the matching termination basis in the Töötamise register within ten days and correct any error without delay.
