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.

Anyone who appears in person for a samordningsnummer identity check must, when asked, let the checking authority take fingerprints and a facial imageSkatteverket. The duty applies from 1 December 2026Skatteverket and replaces a narrower rule that applied only where a presented passport, identity card or equivalent carried fingerprints or a facial image on a storage medium.

The biometric data become a registered category. Skatteverket must register fingerprints, facial images and the biometric data derived from them as point 12Skatteverket alongside the existing eleven items for each person, such as samordningsnummer, name, date of birth, citizenship and whether identity is established as styrkt, sannolik or osäker. The registration duty also enters into force on 1 December 2026.Skatteverket

Checking authorities gain two comparison powers. The authority performing the check may verify that data taken under 2 kap. 4 § match data in or on a document handed over under 3 §, and may also compare the taken data with other data Skatteverket has registered in the population-registration work. Separately, Skatteverket may compare the taken data with fingerprint and photograph registers kept under 15 § utlänningsdatalagen (2016:27) to check identitySkatteverket. That second comparison is available only where there is reason to assume the person has turned 14.

Passport authorities take on a forwarding and deletion duty. In identity-check work under the act, they must give fingerprints and facial images taken under 4 § to SkatteverketSkatteverket and then destroy the data immediately at the passport authority. The act does not state a general immediate-destruction rule for the Skatteverket copy, which is instead listed among the registered items.

Skatteverket also takes on three disclosure duties on request. It must provide fingerprints, facial images and derived biometric data to a passport authority where needed in that authority's identity-check work under the actSkatteverket, to Migrationsverket where needed for case handling or identity control in its workSkatteverket, and to Polismyndigheten where needed in a preliminary investigation in law-enforcement workSkatteverket. Each duty is request-based and tied to the stated need.

Existing limits on personal appearance remain. Skatteverket may waive the appearance requirement for special reasons, and the requirement does not apply to persons covered by lagen (1976:661) om immunitet och privilegier i vissa fall. The government or a designated authority may prescribe exemptions from the duty to give a facial image and fingerprints under 4 §. The provisions on renewal, dormancy and appeal set out in the consolidated text are unchanged by this amendment.

Legal basis is Lag (2022:1697) om samordningsnummer as amended by SFS 2026:1455, 1 kap. 2 §, 2 kap. 4–4 c §§ and 4 kap. 3–5 §§.
