Convert Pillar 2 GIR data into XML for submission.

Yes. XML Authority can be used to generate and validate XML files for Pillar 2 GIR reporting. It helps tax, finance and compliance teams convert prepared GloBE Information Return data into the required XML structure and validate the final file before submission to the relevant tax authority.

Yes. XML Authority is ideal for teams that have already completed their Pillar 2 calculations and data preparation, and now need to convert that data into valid XML for submission to a tax authority. It supports the final technical reporting stage by helping users structure, generate and validate the XML file.

XML Authority is not primarily positioned as a Pillar 2 tax calculation engine. It is designed for the conversion and validation stage of the reporting process, where prepared Pillar 2 GIR data needs to be transformed into the correct XML format and checked against the relevant schema.

XML Authority produces a schema-compliant Pillar 2 GIR XML file from prepared source data. The software helps users map data to the required XML structure, validate the output and generate the final XML file needed for submission to the relevant tax authority.

XML Authority is suitable for multinational groups, tax departments, finance teams, compliance teams, shared service centres, accounting firms and advisers that have prepared Pillar 2 GIR data and need to generate a valid XML file for submission to a tax authority.

XML Authority validates Pillar 2 GIR XML files against the relevant XML Schema. This helps identify structural issues, missing mandatory elements, incorrect data formats and other technical errors before the file is submitted to the relevant tax authority.

Yes. XML Authority can use prepared source data from Microsoft Excel and convert it into schema-compliant Pillar 2 GIR XML. This allows reporting teams to work with familiar data sources while producing a structured XML file for submission to the relevant tax authority.

Manual XML creation is time-consuming and prone to technical errors. XML Authority provides a structured environment for converting prepared GIR data into XML, validating it against the schema and producing a repeatable process for future reporting periods.

Pillar 2 GIR reporting refers to the GloBE Information Return required under the OECD’s Global Anti-Base Erosion rules. It is used to provide tax authorities with information about a multinational enterprise group’s Pillar 2 position, including jurisdictional calculations, constituent entities and relevant top-up tax information.

The Pillar 2 GIR XML Schema is the structured XML format used to organise GloBE Information Return data in a machine-readable way. It defines how GIR information should be formatted so that it can be submitted, exchanged, validated and processed consistently by tax authorities and reporting systems.

No. The GIR XML Schema provides a common technical structure, but local filing requirements may vary by jurisdiction. Each tax authority may set its own submission rules, filing process, deadlines and country-specific requirements.

Yes. XML Authority can support country-specific Pillar 2 GIR requirements where these are reflected in the relevant schema, filing format or validation rules. This helps organisations prepare XML files that meet both the core schema structure and applicable local requirements.

Yes. XML Authority can be used by accounting firms, tax advisers and service providers that prepare Pillar 2 GIR XML files for clients. It provides a structured way to convert prepared client data into valid XML and validate the file before submission to the relevant tax authority.

XML Authority reduces risk by helping users avoid manual XML editing, validate files before submission and apply a repeatable conversion process. This helps identify technical issues earlier and improves confidence that the XML file follows the required schema structure.
