XML import: deterministic pre-fill
Re-import any GLOBE_OECD XML (a filed return, a test set, another tool's export). Every element lands exactly in its field: 1:1 with the schema, no interpretation, no loss.
GLOBE_OECD XML round-trip 1:1
INVITATION-ONLY ACCESS · PILLAR TWO · FORM 2259-SD
From the 2259-SD return to the filed GIR XML.
Generate your GloBE Information Return — French form 2259-SD — as an XML file conforming to the official GLOBE_OECD schema required by the French tax administration (DGFiP). Import your existing XML, roll the previous Fiscal Year forward, and run the official checks before filing on impots.gouv.fr.

Conforms to DGFiP v3 (June 2026) GLOBE_OECD schema GlobeXML 1.0 OECDGlobeTypes 5.0 Annexe 1: element-by-element specification v3 Art. 223 WW & 1729 F bis of the French Tax Code
A €100,000 fine per return not filed, or filed late.
Article 223 WW of the French Tax Code (CGI) requires groups within the scope of the GloBE rules to file an annual information return in France; the €100,000 fine per missing or late return is set by Article 1729 F bis. The return is due within fifteen months of the last day of the Fiscal Year — eighteen months for the first Fiscal Year in scope. The required format is an XML file conforming to the GLOBE_OECD schema: not Excel, not PDF.
How it works: 3 steps
From data collection to XML transmission, Pilier2XML supports every step of your filing process.
01
Pre-fill or enter your data
Enter your data manually or import it from an Excel template, in an interface available in French and English, with reading keys aligned with form 2259-SD.
Follow the guided form through sections 1.1 to 3.4.3, with contextual help at every step.
No XML knowledge needed: the GLOBE_OECD XML file is generated automatically by Pilier2XML. You can also re-import a GLOBE_OECD XML file already filed, or roll your previous Fiscal Year forward in one click to prepare the next one.

100% local and private
No account, no cloud, no tax-data server. Your SIRENs, TINs, deferred tax amounts and elections never leave your browser — even the DGFiP checks run locally.
local storage no account no cloud
AES-256 encrypted backup
Export all your returns into a single encrypted file, protected by a password only you know. Archive it, share it with colleagues, or restore it on another machine — no server dependency.

No tax data ever passes through our servers.
Returns are saved in your browser's local storage — XML generation, DGFiP checks and XSD validation all run client-side. Only the access code and the waitlist signup involve any network exchange; everything else stays with you.
No tax data, no TIN, no amount leaves your machine. You control every export: a generated XML file, a PDF check report, or an encrypted auditor pack you archive wherever you choose.
For firms: each client group's data stays compartmentalised in your browser — no client return ever transits a server or mixes with another engagement.

The questions we hear most often.
Why not stay in Excel?
The Excel template published by the DGFiP is a data-entry aid, but the administration does not accept that file for filing: it requires an XML file conforming to the official schema. Pilier2XML starts from the same information you would enter in Excel, but delivers the fileable XML directly. No re-keying, no manual conversion — which is where most errors creep in. Understanding the GIR XML file (guide in French)
What are the filing deadlines?
The first deadline was 30 June 2026, for Fiscal Years ending 31 December 2024 — the eighteen-month period that applies to the first Fiscal Year in scope. Thereafter, Article 223 WW-II of the French Tax Code brings filing back to fifteen months from the end of the Fiscal Year: 31 March 2027 for a Fiscal Year ending 31 December 2025. For late or missing filings, Article 1729 F bis of the French Tax Code sets a fine of €100,000 per return. Guide: the 2259-SD filing calendar (in French)
How is conformity guaranteed?
The file produced follows exactly the official GLOBEXML 1.0 schema (with the OECDGlobeTypes 5.0 types) and the filing rules of the DGFiP user guide in force: forbidden characters (§7.1), maximum lengths, MessageRefId/DocRefId structure, cardinality of every element. Two successive verifications: DGFiP checks while you enter data, then a full XSD revalidation of the final XML — in your browser, before any filing. Judge for yourself: a sample GIR file and its check report are downloadable below. Download a sample GIR file (XML)
Is a schema-valid file an accepted file?
No — and that distinction is what decides a filing. XSD validation answers one question: does the file have the shape the GLOBEXML 1.0 schema describes. The DGFiP runs three successive levels of checks when it integrates the file (user guide, § 6.1): conformity and structure, then the consistency of the data within the file, then its consistency with data already held in the DGFiP's information system. A filed file is treated as valid only where no blocking anomaly is raised by any of them — so a schema-valid file can still come back « Rejeté » in the compte rendu métier, the filing report. That is what the Annexe 3 checks are for: they run inside Pilier2XML before you file, each with its code and the French Tax Code article behind it, and are printed as a PDF report.
What happens when the rules change?
The DGFiP specifications evolve: new elements, changes to country-code or status lists, and so on. These changes are tracked and integrated into the application at each official update. Returns you have already entered remain usable and are checked against the most recent version before generation.
Is my data really local?
Yes. Your return (entities, jurisdictions, amounts, Effective Tax Rate computations) is stored only in your browser, on your machine. Our servers receive none of its content: they serve the page, validate your access code, and handle the waitlist signup. Nothing more.
Will access stay free?
Evaluation access is free — no card, no commitment; it is granted on a temporary and revocable basis (Terms of Use, art. 9 bis). If a paid offering is introduced, users will be told in advance: nothing changes without notice. In any case your returns are yours: they live in your browser and can be exported at any time (generated XML, AES-256 encrypted backup), independently of any subscription.
Firm or advisor: how do I handle several client groups?
The dashboard manages several returns side by side: one per client group, each with its own entities, jurisdictions and versions. The data never passes through our servers: it stays in the browser of the machine where it was entered, which eliminates the risk of accidentally transporting a client's return. Each access code covers two devices by default; mention "firm" in the request form for a seat count matched to your team.
