Taxonomy-specific instructions
The national SBR taxonomy or the IFRS taxonomy is applied in IXBRL reporting, depending on if the company applies national accounting standards or international IFRS standards when drawing up its financial statements. Listed companies apply the ESEF taxonomy when preparing consolidated financial statements.
See below for a list showing where each taxonomy version can be downloaded and where taxonomy-specific instructions can be found. Please note that the PRH’s Inline XBRL financial statements reporting manual supplements the taxonomy-specific instructions.
Taxonomy | Download taxonomy at | Instructions |
|---|---|---|
SBR taxonomy | ||
ESEF taxonomy | ||
IFRS taxonomy |
Please check separately the applicable taxonomy version for each reporting period.
Sample files and test datasets
The PRH provides software suppliers with sample files and test datasets to support development and testing.
Sample files
The sample files contain examples of applying the SBR taxonomy, in particular, but also some examples in keeping with the ESEF and IFRS taxonomies as well as files in which several different taxonomies have been used in the same report.
For a more detailed breakdown of the sample files, see the Excel file in the material package.
