Free beta · GIR XML validation tool

Validate OECD GloBE Information Return XML files before filing.

The GIR Validator helps Pillar Two teams review GloBE Information Return XML files, identify OECD validation issues, check XML schema validity, and generate GIR XML from supported Excel workbooks.

Account required. Free during beta. Validation results are advisory and should be reviewed before filing.

Two ways to use the GIR Validator

Use it to review an existing GIR XML file, or to generate GIR XML from a supported workbook before validating the output.

1

Validate an existing GIR XML

Upload a GIR XML file and review XSD errors, OECD validation codes, blockers, warnings and suggested fixes.

2

Generate GIR XML from Excel

Upload a supported Excel workbook and generate GIR XML for review, validation and download.

3

Review and download outputs

Download generated XML, validation reports and status-message outputs where available.

Built for Pillar Two reporting teams

The validator is designed to help teams preparing or reviewing GloBE Information Return files.

OECD baseline validation

Check GIR XML files against the OECD baseline validation logic, including record, summary, safe harbour, ownership, date and calculation-style validation issues.

Schema-aware XML generation

Generate GIR XML from supported workbook data and validate the generated XML before it is used.

Repair-focused results

View validation codes, XML paths, sections, severity and suggested remediation steps so issues can be reviewed and resolved.

Country overlay prechecks

Where available, run selected country-specific overlay checks alongside the OECD baseline validator.

Confidentiality and security

GIR XML files may contain sensitive tax, entity, ownership and financial information. The beta is designed around account login, organisation workspaces and role-based access.

Organisation workspaces

Files and validation results are associated with an organisation workspace and are visible only to authorised members of that workspace.

Server-side validation flow

GIR API calls are routed through a secure server-side flow. API keys are not exposed in the browser.

Advisory outputs

Validation results and generated XML are intended to support review. They do not replace professional judgement or filing authority checks.
