Validate before the final package
Validation should point teams to the missing or inconsistent input, not just expose a technical XML error after export.

Belgian GIR validation rules: XSD and XML readiness checks
Belgian GIR preparation is not just a content exercise. Teams also need validation checks that explain what is wrong, why it matters in the GIR/XML context and what data should be reviewed before export.
Technical GIR/GIRNOT workflow support only. No legal or tax advice, no filing guarantee, and no confidential data through the public form.
Key points for Belgian GIR validation rules: XSD and XML readiness checks
Rule, cause, correction
A useful validation page should connect each rule to plain-language meaning, the likely source data cause, the GIR/XML field context and the next correction to review.
Useful for finance and reviewers
Plain-language checks help finance users understand what is missing, while technical details stay available for reviewers who need XML/XSD context.
Different from the XML schema
Validation rules are about whether the prepared GIR package is internally complete and coherent. The OECD GIR XML schema page explains the file structure and mapping layer.
Official rules remain the reference
The product is positioned around official OECD schema language and Belgian validation context. The group remains responsible for review, sign-off and filing decisions.

FAQ
Direct answers for this GIR/GIRNOT question.
Why mention Belgian GIR validation rules?
FPS Finance publishes Belgian GIR forms, XML schema material and Belgian validation rules. Teams searching these terms usually have implementation intent rather than general interest.
Does successful validation guarantee acceptance?
No. Technical validation support does not guarantee authority acceptance or correctness of the filing position.
What makes GIR validation commercially urgent?
Teams searching for GIR XML errors or validation failures are usually already preparing a filing package. gir.wtf is positioned to help locate data gaps before the final review path.
Portal access
Need a controlled GIR/GIRNOT intake?
Request access to the GIR portal. The first step is scope, data-gap and XML-readiness intake before confidential production data is handled elsewhere.
