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: Across industries

The European Commission proposed on 10 November 2026 a Council RegulationEuropa Europa that would overhaul the Union's autonomous suspensions of Common Customs Tariff duties for certain agricultural and industrial products from 1 January 2027Europa. The draft, COM(2026) 612 final, would replace the Annex to Council Regulation (EU) 2021/2278 with a consolidated list carrying the new suspension lineupEuropa.

Unlike autonomous tariff quotas, suspensions impose no quantity limitEuropa. The products listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2021/2278 can be imported into the Union at reduced or zero duty rates without any limitation as regards their quantity, where Union production is insufficient or absent and without disturbing the market for those productsEuropa. The suspensions are managed in the Integrated Tariff of the European Union (TARIC) and applied by Member State customs administrations. This proposal is the routine six-monthly update, drawn up after the Economic Tariff Questions Group reviewed Member State requests and checked that no suspension harms Union enterprises.

Sixty-eight new products would gain a complete suspension of Common Customs Tariff duties of the type referred to in Article 56(2), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013Europa. The proposal treats them as products whose Union production is inadequate to meet the specific requirements of user industries, with no identical, equivalent or substitute products available in sufficient quantities.

Battery production gets a separate partial suspensionEuropa. With a view to promoting integrated battery production in the Union, certain battery-related products not currently listed would receive a partial suspension of dutiesEuropa. The mandatory review of that suspension would have to be completed by 31 December 2027Europa, to take into account the short-term evolution of the battery production sector in the Union. Importers relying on those inputs would therefore face a time-limited relief window rather than an open-ended suspension.

Existing suspensions would also change. The product description, classification or end-use requirement for certain listed products would be amended to reflect technical developments and market trends. Suspensions whose mandatory review date is currently set at 31 December 2026 would have their next review dates extended where the Union still has an interest in maintaining themEuropa, following the Commission's review under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2278.

One hundred and thirty-nine products would lose their suspension and leave the Annex with effect from 1 January 2027Europa, because maintaining them is no longer in the Union's economic interestEuropa. The normal Common Customs Tariff duties would apply again to those productsEuropa. The financial statement estimates reintroduced duties on withdrawn products at EUR 30,323,337 per year on 2025 statisticsEuropa, against uncollected duties of EUR 35,608,614 per year on the new suspensionsEuropa.

The proposal would apply from 1 January 2027Europa and would enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European UnionEuropa. It does not affect countries with a preferential trading arrangement with the Union, including Generalised System of Preferences beneficiaries, African, Caribbean and Pacific trade regimes and Free Trade Agreement partnersEuropa. End-use of some products would be checked under Article 254 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013, and Member States could carry out further customs controls under Article 46 of that Regulation. The Commission puts the gross revenue loss at EUR 5,285,277 per yearEuropa, or EUR 3,963,958 per year in traditional own resourcesEuropa, to be compensated by Member State contributions based on Gross National Income.

Legal basis is Article 31 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, implemented through an amendment to Regulation (EU) 2021/2278.

Map 2027 import plans against the suspension list, secure battery-input relief before the 31 December 2027 review and re-cost the 139 withdrawn products at full duty.
