  • Detailed design

    We have developed a local file and master file XML schema (LCMSF) and associated validation rules to enable reporting entities to submit their local file and master file to the ATO.

    The design of the LCMSF allows for the local file's three components and the master file to be submitted independently of each other.

    The LCMSF comprises the following sections:

    You should also refer to the Appendices for various relevant codes used for reporting as part of the lodgment.

    Electronic lodgment

    How to lodge

    CBC statements (the CBC report, master file and local file) must be lodged via one of the following ATO approved channels:

    CBC statements must be submitted via the above channels using a validly generated XML file, otherwise the lodgment will not be considered valid. This XML file is generated by your business management software (tax reporting or accounting software) using the ATO provided XML schema. Additionally, the XML file must adhere to our validation rules and other technical requirements.

    You may need to make enquires with your software provider as to whether they support lodging CBC reporting statements to the ATO.

    If the valid lodgments are not received by the due date, increased failure to lodge penalties may be imposed. You may request a deferral by emailing CBCReporting@ato.gov.au if you have difficulty in meeting the due date.

    For more information on electronic lodgment, visit our Online services page.

    For more information on the XML schema, validation rules and other technical documentation, visit our Significant Global Entity Obligations (SGEO) page on the SBR websiteExternal Link and the CBC software developersExternal Link site.

    Amendments

    When making an amendment to a previously lodged statement (or part thereof), refer to the Amendments section of our Country-by-country reporting webpage.

    Cancelling lodgments

    If you would like to cancel a lodgment that has been submitted, email the CBC Reporting team.

    Attachments

    No particular attachment naming convention is enforced, noting:

    • filenames must be unique
    • cannot exceed 255 characters
    • cannot contain the following special characters: <, >, :, ", /, \, |, ?, *.
    • filenames are not case sensitive.

    There's a maximum of 500 attachments per lodgment, where the size of any single attachment cannot exceed 20Mb. All attachments embedded in the XML file must also be referenced at the appropriate LCMSF element depending on the type of attachment.

    Table 3 outlines the types of attachments that are accepted. Multiple attachments can be embedded for each type:
