Schema and XSD errors
Schema errors usually mean the XML structure, element order, required field or technical format does not match the supported schema expectation.
GIR XML validation
GIR XML Validation Errors
GIR XML validation should turn technical errors into reviewable next steps. GIR.WTF focuses on schema errors, required fields, format issues, mapping gaps and Belgian technical validation behaviour.
GIR.WTF handles the technical layer. The user and their advisers remain responsible for the underlying tax and legal positions, the reporting information and the final filing decisions.
Example validation cases
Validation evidence stays tied to reviewable inputs.
GIR.WTF presents validation as a technical feedback loop: identify the issue, connect it to the source input and keep the next review step visible before export.
Missing required technical fieldExample case: reporting-period, filing-entity or jurisdiction input is absent, so the message points back to the missing structured source field.
Malformed XML before schema checksExample case: pasted XML cannot be parsed safely, so the user sees a syntax-level issue before treating the document as schema-ready.
Belgian validation rule contextExample case: a Belgian technical validation message should identify the data gap or format issue for review without claiming authority acceptance.
What GIR.WTF does
Technical execution layer, not a tax opinion.
GIR.WTF combines guided GIR XML generation, browser-based technical validation, schema mapping, Belgian technical checks and XML export in one focused product workflow.
Mapping gaps
A validation issue often starts upstream: a missing reporting period, entity identifier, jurisdiction input or inconsistent structured answer.
Belgian validation behaviour
Belgian validation rules add implementation checks on top of schema readiness. GIR.WTF treats those as technical validation messages, not legal conclusions.
Official sources
Built around authoritative technical materials.
GIR.WTF is implementation software. OECD and FPS Finance remain the authoritative sources for the GIR XML schema, Belgian materials and official filing context.

Practical questions
Choose the path that matches the work in front of you.
Each focused GIR XML page starts from a concrete implementation problem: generating XML, validating structure, mapping the OECD schema, preparing Belgian context or reviewing validation-error behaviour.
Diagnose schema errors
Structural problems include invalid element order, missing required nodes and formats that do not match schema expectations.
Trace errors back to source data
Validation errors should identify whether the issue started with missing reporting-period, entity, jurisdiction or filing-context input.
Understand Belgian validation-rule context
Belgian validation behaviour belongs next to schema checks, but it remains technical implementation support rather than tax or legal advice.

Reviewed against technical source material.
The public pages show the same boundary as the product: official sources define the schema and Belgian filing context; GIR.WTF provides the technical workflow around structured input, validation messages and export preparation.
Focused GIR XML pages answer concrete implementation questions.
The hub, generator, validator, schema, Belgium and validation-error pages each connect practical implementation questions with source-linked context and clear next workflow steps.
OECD GIR XML schema 2026 planning stays source-led.
Teams preparing 2026 GIR XML work should verify the current OECD schema and user-guide source first. GIR.WTF adds a guided implementation layer around mapping, validation and export.
Belgian GIR XML materials are treated as technical inputs.
FPS Finance forms, tools, XSD and validation-rule materials are linked as official sources. GIR.WTF keeps Belgian implementation checks separate from tax advice or filing guarantees.
Public validation messages point to reviewable issues.
The browser demo exposes missing technical fields, malformed XML, unsupported document shape and format issues without sending pasted XML to the server.
High-intent GIR/GIRNOT workflows link back to the hub.
Generator, validator, schema, Belgian validation rules, GIRNOT Belgium and MyMinfin notification preparation all resolve into the central GIR XML workflow.

FAQ
Direct answers for GIR XML implementation.
What is a GIR XML validation error?
It is a technical issue with XML structure, required fields, formats, mapping or supported validation behaviour that needs review before export or submission workflow.
Can GIR.WTF fix the underlying tax position?
No. GIR.WTF can identify technical validation issues, but tax positions and reporting decisions remain with the user and advisers.
Portal access
Prepare GIR XML without manual XML editing.
Request access to the GIR portal. The first step is technical GIR/GIRNOT scope, data-gap and XML-readiness intake without submitting confidential production data through the public form.
