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.

Local public-sector billing leaves cheque and titre interbancaire de paiement behindCollectivites Locales in December 2026Collectivites Locales. From early December 2026Collectivites Locales, invoices that the DGFiP produces from XML flows for collectivités locales and hospital bodies managed in the DGFiP Hélios tool no longer offer payment by cheque or by TIPCollectivites Locales. The switch happens automatically, with no step required from the collectivités concerned.Collectivites Locales

During December 2026Collectivites Locales the DGFiP adds the next piece for Hélios collectivités that already collect online through PayFiPCollectivites Locales, the free DGFiP online-payment platformCollectivites Locales. Where PayFiP currently offers card payment and single direct debitCollectivites Locales, the DGFiP automatically adds virement simplifié alongside the existing meansCollectivites Locales, at zero cost to the collectivitéCollectivites Locales.

Virement simplifié lets a user pay online without a bank card and without typing anything.Collectivites Locales On PayFiP the user clicks the virement simplifié button, picks the bank holding the account to be debited, logs in with the usual online-banking credentials, and is shown a draft transfer for the amount due built by PayFiP in dialogue with the bank. One click plus a second authentication, for example in the banking app, releases the payment. The DGFiP never sees the account balance or recent transactions, and the user enters no card number, no IBAN and no other reference.

Collection is simpler on the public-accountant side too. The transfer label is set by the DGFiP, so receipt of the transfer feeds automatic bank reconciliation and clearance of the claim in DGFiP management tools, improving the collectivité's accounts. There is no card-acquiring commission and the DGFiP bears the cost of making and receiving the transfer. Money arrives faster than a single direct debit executed at day plus three: a classic transfer lands at day plus one like a card payment, and an instant transfer, once available, in under ten seconds. The payer receives an email trace of the operation at the address given at the start of the process. Users without a bank card can therefore pay online under full security conditions.Collectivites Locales

Collectivités that still issue their own invoices should act now. Invoices edited directly by collectivités locales and their establishments should no longer mention payment by cheque or TIP.Collectivites Locales Users who still pay recurring bills by TIP should move to automatic direct debit by signing a debit authorisation with the collectivité now, where the collectivité offers one.Collectivites Locales Collectivités that still have no online-payment service, although they must offer one once they collect more than 5,000 euros a year under décret n° 2018-689Collectivites Locales, should set up PayFiP when managed in Hélios, or PayFiP or another online-payment solution when managed outside HéliosCollectivites Locales. The moyens de paiement correspondents in the directions départementales des finances publiques help collectivités set this up.

Cash proximity payment remains: bills under 300 euros stay payable in cash, and card payment stays available, at licensed buralistes and agréé proximité partnersCollectivites Locales. Espaces France services help users unfamiliar with digital tools move to online payment, and the directions départementales et régionales des finances publiques support collectivités and their establishments through the shift to cheaper, faster and safer payment means.

Legal basis: décret n° 2018-689 du 1er août 2018 requiring administrations to offer an online-payment serviceLegifrance, implemented through the DGFiP PayFiP offer with prélèvement unique, carte bancaire and virement simplifié.

Strip cheque and TIP references from self-issued invoices now, move recurring TIP payers to automatic direct debit, and set up PayFiP where the 5,000-euro online-payment duty is unmet.
