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.

Applying for e-Residency costs EUR 150 in state feeE Resident, rising to EUR 165 from 2027E Resident E Resident. The higher figure appears consistently across the application, renewal, state-fee and refund pages, so advisers quoting formation costs for filings in 2027 should use EUR 165.

The fee covers processing of the application: it is paid by Visa or Mastercard inside the application environment, a third person may pay it on the applicant's behalf through the same environment, and no invoice is issued, although the payment service provider supplies a receipt, with further questions directed to the Police and Border Guard Board. If the application is declined, the fee is not refundedE Resident. There are no annual or maintenance fees for the digital ID card itself.

The same fee applies to renewal and replacementE Resident. The digital ID is valid for five years; the Police and Border Guard Board sends a reminder email about three months before expiry, and applicants are advised to file the renewal at least two to three months ahead, factoring in travel to collect the document. Renewal runs in the application environment, logging in with a valid digital ID or Smart-ID, or by email where the existing credentials no longer work, with some fields pre-filled from the previous application. A change of name or citizenship requires a new digital ID with the fee paid again. Before renewing, the applicant's Estonian company must have filed its annual reports, declared corporate taxes where resident, kept Business Register data current and cleared tax debts, failing which the board may reject the application. Smart-ID linked to the card stops working when the digital ID expires.

For cost planning, the surrounding figures are unchanged: registering a private limited company (OÜ) online costs EUR 265, a designated contact person required under the Commercial Code averages EUR 200-400 per year through a virtual-office provider, accounting starts from EUR 50 per month, and share capital and any business licences come on top.

Ukrainian citizens covered by the support initiative are refunded up to the e-Residency feeE Resident — EUR 150, EUR 165 from 2027E Resident E Resident — plus EUR 265 for the company registrationE Resident, reimbursed through participating business service providers. Eligibility requires Ukrainian citizenship, e-Residency granted on or after 24 February 2022, a new Estonian company registered as an e-resident before 31 December 2026 through an eligible provider, and no ownership or control of another Estonian company before 24 February 2022E Resident. Both steps — becoming an e-resident and registering the company — must be completedE Resident; the fee for a rejected application is not refunded, only eligible providers can submit refund requests, and the terms and conditions apply.

Legal basis is the State Fees Act.

Quote EUR 165 for e-Residency applications and renewals planned for 2027, and file renewals at least two to three months before the card expires.
