XBRL, SBR & financial reporting
Shillinq can generate and submit financial statements in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) format via the Dutch SBR (Standard Business Reporting) infrastructure. This covers annual accounts submission to the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), tax declarations to the Belastingdienst, and consolidated group reporting.
XBRL taxonomies
Taxonomies define the XBRL schema — what tags exist and how they relate to each other. Shillinq ships with the standard Dutch taxonomies:
- NT17 / NT18 — the annual taxonomy for commercial entities (annual accounts to KvK)
- BD taxonomy — the Belastingdienst taxonomy for corporate tax (VPB)
- FinRep / CoRep — for financial institutions
Go to Bookkeeping → XBRL Taxonomies to see installed taxonomies and their versions. Update taxonomies annually when the Dutch Taxonomy Project (NTP) releases new versions.
XBRL mapping validation
The Mapping validation page checks that every GL account in your chart of accounts is mapped to exactly one XBRL tag. Unmapped accounts will cause the XBRL filing to fail or produce incomplete data.
Run the validation before each filing and fix any flagged accounts in Chart of accounts → [Account] → XBRL tag.
SBR documents
SBR documents are the submission packages — one document = one report filed with one authority. Each document contains:
- The XBRL instance document (the financial data)
- The submission metadata (period, entity, contact)
- The filing status
Go to Bookkeeping → SBR Documents to prepare and submit packages.
SBR/XBRL filings
The Filings list shows all completed and pending SBR submissions, with their Digipoort confirmation codes and timestamps.
Consolidations
The Consolidations module supports group-level financial statements when you have multiple legal entities:
- Consolidations — configure which entities are consolidated and their ownership percentages
- Intercompany transactions — identify transactions between group entities that must be eliminated
- Elimination rules — automatically reverse intercompany sales, loans, and dividends on consolidation
- Consolidated report — the consolidated balance sheet and P&L after eliminations
Financial statements
The core financial statement pages (accessible from the Bookkeeping menu):
- Balance sheet — assets, liabilities, and equity
- Trial balance — account-level check
- Trial balance by account — transaction-level detail per account for audit
