Country-by-Country Reporting to the Tax Authority? Here’s How to Submit Your Report Automatically Without a Digipoort Entry Point

Multinational groups with consolidated revenue of €750 million or more are required to submit an annual CbC report in XML format to the Tax and Customs Administration. The problem: there is no standard entry point for CbC on Digipoort. Manual uploads for each client are error-prone, time-consuming, and do not provide a usable audit trail.

SureSync offers a plug-and-play solution that validates your XML file, submits it to the Tax Authority via a secure Digipoort connection, and logs every step. One portal for all your clients, one process for every jurisdiction.

How does CbC filing work?

CbCR ENG
From XML file to confirmed filing with the Tax Authority, in six steps. The submitting organization can be a tax office, an accounting firm, or the multinational itself.

  1. The submitting organization logs in to the SureSync portal and uploads the CbC XML file for the relevant group.
  2. The portal automatically validates the file against the applicable CbC schema and the Tax Authority’s submission specifications.
  3. If there are any discrepancies, you’ll receive immediate feedback in the portal, including a reference to the exact error in the XML.
  4. After successful validation, the file is automatically submitted to the Tax Authority via the Digipoort Connector.
  5. Status updates and acknowledgments of receipt from the Tax Authority are displayed in the portal, visible for each report.
  6. Every step is recorded in the audit trail: who uploaded it, which version was submitted, and when it was confirmed.

Multinational groups with consolidated annual revenue of at least €750 million are required to file a country-by-country (CbC) report with the Tax and Customs Administration. This requirement stems from OECD BEPS Action 13 and EU Directive 2016/881. The ultimate parent entity or a designated surrogate entity is responsible for filing the report.

Twelve months after the end of the reporting year. For groups that follow the calendar year, this means no later than December 31 of the year following the reporting year.

The Tax and Customs Administration receives CbC reports via Digipoort, but there is no publicly available entry point, as there is for SBR annual financial statements. In practice, this means that reporting parties must set up their own technical connection or work through a service provider with existing Digipoort integration. SureSync provides that connection.

Yes. Firms that submit CbC reports on behalf of their clients can set up, validate, and submit a report for each client in the SureSync portal. Permissions and access are managed on a per-user and per-client basis.

CbC is the confidential return filed with the Tax Authority. Public CbC is an abridged, public version that you file with the Chamber of Commerce in accordance with EU Directive 2021/2101. The GIR (GloBE Information Return) is a separate filing under Pillar Two that determines whether additional tax is due per jurisdiction. The three reporting streams overlap in terms of data but differ in format, channel, and deadline. You can read more about this in our blog post on the three reporting streams.

Yes. SureSync Reporting is designed to support all three data flows from a single central source: CbC reporting to the Tax Authority, public CbC reporting to the Chamber of Commerce, and GIR filing for Pillar Two.

Please contact us for a price estimate. The price depends on the number of groups and jurisdictions for which you are submitting data.
