On 22 March 2016, the OECD released a standardised electronic format for the exchange of country-by-country (CbC) reports between jurisdictions as well as a user guide. This CbC XML scheme is part of the OECD’s work to ensure the swift and efficient implementation of the BEPS measures. CbC reports should be electronically transmitted between the competent authorities.
The move is expected to help tax administrations obtain a complete understanding of the way in which multinational enterprises (MNEs) structure their operations.
Exchanges of CbC reports will start in 2018 containing information on the year 2016.
The country-by-country reporting template applies to groups with an annual consolidated revenue in the immediately preceding fiscal year of at least EUR 750 million.
