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 European Commission proposed on 10 November 2026 a Council RegulationEuropa that would reshape the Union's autonomous tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial productsEuropa from 1 January 2027Europa. The draft, COM(2026) 613 finalEuropa, would replace the Annex to Council Regulation (EU) 2021/2283Europa with a consolidated version carrying the new quota lineup.

Autonomous quotas let importers bring products that Union producers cannot supply in sufficient quantities into the Union at zero or reduced Common Customs Tariff duty rates, for set volumes and without disturbing the market for those products. The quotas are managed in TARIC and the QUOTA database 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 quota harms Union producers.

Four new quotas with order numbers 09.2520, 09.2521, 09.2522 and 09.2523 would openEuropa at zero dutyEuropa for appropriate quantitiesEuropa. The proposal does not name the products beyond their order numbers and quota terms in the recitals; the full product descriptions, Combined Nomenclature codes, TARIC subdivisions and volumes sit in the replacement Annex. Importers and customs declarants using those order numbers would be able to claim the zero rate only within the quota volumes and only while the quota is openEuropa.

Fifteen existing quotas would changeEuropa. For quotas 09.2035, 09.2518, 09.2519, 09.2572, 09.2638 and 09.2652 the product description and the TARIC codes would be modifiedEuropa because the current scope no longer meets the needs of Union economic operators. For quotas 09.2585, 09.2554, 09.2555 and 09.2556 the Combined Nomenclature codes would be updatedEuropa because the classification of those products in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has changed.

Quota volumes would move in both directions. The volumes for quotas 09.2542 and 09.2557 would increaseEuropa, while the volumes for quotas 09.2572, 09.2575 and 09.2638 would decreaseEuropa, reflecting the assessed adequate supply needs for each industrial product. Quotas 09.2516, 09.2517, 09.2518 and 09.2922, initially opened for six months, would be extendedEuropa, with their volumes adjusted on an annual basisEuropa.

Three quotas would closeEuropa. Quotas 09.2723, 09.2842 and 09.2931 would be withdrawnEuropa because maintaining them is no longer in the Union's economic interest. Once closed, the normal Common Customs Tariff duties would apply again to those productsEuropa, which the financial statement estimates would add EUR 3,224,226 per year in duties collectedEuropa on the basis of 2025 statistics.

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 partners.Europa 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 uncollected duties on the four new quotas at EUR 1,085,780 per yearEuropa and the net positive revenue effect of the whole package at EUR 1,603,835 per yearEuropa.

Legal basis is Article 31 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European UnionEuropa, implemented through an amendment to Regulation (EU) 2021/2283Europa.
