CESOP - EU cross-border payments reporting
Filing specifications
The filing specifications and procedures of Central Electronic System of Payment Information (CESOP) reports may vary in each European Union (EU) Member State.
Since 19 September 2025, Revenue only accepts files that are compatible and comply with:
- Validation Module 1.7.0
- XSD version 5.00
- XML Version 4.03.
Note
Revenue does not accept previous versions.
This folder contains the following to assist you in updating your current validation process:
- CESOP validation Module v1.7.0
- User Manual v5.00
- an executable Jar File v1.7.0
- other supporting documents.
The Validation Module is created and supported by the EU Commission. Revenue has not, and will not, make any changes to this module.
The European Commission has a dedicated webpage which outlines the key documents for CESOP reporting and filing.
All Payment Service Providers (PSPs) with a reporting obligation for CESOP in Ireland should monitor this page and the Commission's webpage for updates.
PSPs who have a reporting obligation in other Member States should confirm the specifications accepted in each Member State.
