Support for CbC Schema Version 2.0

As of February 1, 2021, most countries will be required to use the new Version 2.0 CbC XML Schema from the OECD. The Altova Country by Country Reporting Solution now supports this schema by default.

Support for Version 1.0.1 of the schema is still provided and customers may generate reports based on either version as required.

Support for additional country-specific business rules

The Altova CbC Reporting App makes it easy for reporting companies to generate Country by Country reports in valid XML according to the OECD CbC XML Schema. Many countries have also defined additional business rules and validation requirements outside of this schema to meet their specific requirements. The Altova CbCR app supports several of these local rules, with support for the following added in the latest version:

Denmark: support for requirements regarding the format of internal IDs (DocRefId and MessageRefId)
United Arab Emirates: support for listing of all countries for which a report element exists as “ReceivingCountries”
Liechtenstein: support for country-specific rules

Support for additional local rules will be added in the future – please reach out to our Support team if your country’s rules are not yet covered.

Version 2.0 (May 8, 2019)
Ability to generate Correction Reports
Ability to import CbC reports from other sources

Ability to generate Correction Reports

The Altova CbC Reporting Solution makes it easy to generate a valid CbC XML filing report using a user-friendly web interface.

However, sometimes after a CbC report has been submitted to financial authorities, the submitting organization has a need to correct some information in or add some additional data to the report. When this is the case, a correction report must be created to update the filing.

Because a correction report must refer to internal IDs of the original report, it can be difficult to create manually.

Starting with Version 2.0, the Altova CbC Reporting solution makes it easy to generate a valid correction report automatically to update numbers or add new content.

In the correction report creation page, you'll find a list of existing reports. When you click the button to add new data or change/delete existing data, a new correction report is opened that contains all the necessary references to the original report.

Once you have made the necessary updates and saved the correction report, you'll find it listed with other existing reports. Simply click Create XML to generate the valid CbC correction report for submission.

Ability to import CbC Reports from other sources

If you receive a CbC report in XML from another source, you can now import it into the Altova CbC Reporting Solution. This makes it easy to view and understand the information contained in the report, as well as edit it if required.
