Availability of the IFRS Taxonomy
The International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) Taxonomy is available on the Commission’s website at https://www.sec.gov/data-research/standard-taxonomies/operating-companies.

Applicability of the IFRS Taxonomy
All foreign private issuers ("FPIs") that prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and are subject to Rule 405 of Regulation S-T must submit their financial statements on Form 20-F, 40-F and 6-K in XBRL using an IFRS Taxonomy specified on the Commission’s website that corresponds to their fiscal period.

Can I submit using any version of the IFRS Taxonomy?
Only versions of the IFRS Taxonomy that are listed on the Commission’s Standard Taxonomies webpage (https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/edgartaxonomies.shtml) are acceptable in the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”).

Where are resources for preparing XBRL submissions in EDGAR?
The EDGAR Filer Manual provides certain technical requirements for filers to prepare, validate, and submit EDGAR-acceptable electronic filings in XBRL format. The EDGAR Filer Manual is available at https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/edmanuals.htm. Staff in the Division of Economic and Risk Analysis has also provided responses to a number of frequently asked questions about interactive data disclosure, available at https://www.sec.gov/structureddata/FAQs.

Where can I find tags for financial statement and schedule disclosures the Commission requires that are not included in the IFRS Taxonomy?

XBRL tags that correspond to Commission financial statement and schedule disclosure requirements are available in the SEC Reporting taxonomy ("SRT") and the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) Taxonomy. FPIs that prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB are encouraged to refer to the SRT or the U.S. GAAP Taxonomy that corresponds to their fiscal period for those standard XBRL tags when preparing their XBRL submissions. For ease of reference, those standard XBRL tags reside in the following SRT and U.S. GAAP Taxonomy Disclosure Relationship Groups:

• Financial statement schedules required by Rules 5-04 and 7-05 of Regulation S‑X and prescribed by Article 12 of Regulation S-X:  These standard XBRL tags are found in the U.S. GAAP Taxonomy Disclosure Relationship Groups numbered 991000, 993000, 993200, 993400, 993600, 993800, 994000, and 994200, and in the SRT Disclosure Relationship Groups numbered 991100, 993050, 993250, 993450, 993650, 993850, 994100, and 994250.
• Condensed consolidating financial information for guarantors required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X:  These standard XBRL tags are found in the U.S. GAAP Taxonomy Disclosure Relationship Group numbered 991000, and in the SRT Disclosure Relationship Group numbered 991100.
• Disclosures about oil and gas producing activities required by Instruction 2 to Item 18 of Form 20‑F:  These standard XBRL tags are found in the U.S. GAAP Taxonomy Disclosure Relationship Group numbered 965000, and in the SRT Disclosure Relationship Group numbered 965100.

In addition, the SEC Reporting taxonomy includes dimensional elements whose underlying recognition and measurement is not specified by GAAP, including “Range [Axis],” “Geographical [Axis],” and Ownership [Axis]” and others. These XBRL tags are found in the SEC Reporting taxonomy Disclosure Relationship Group numbered 191000.

Will XBRL submissions prepared using the IFRS Taxonomy appear on the Commission’s website with other XBRL submissions?
Yes, all documents submitted in EDGAR can be searched for in the EDGAR system at https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search. In addition, XBRL data using the IFRS Taxonomy will be incorporated into the annual and quarterly financial statement data sets made available at https://www.sec.gov/dera/data/financial-statement-data-sets.html and the financial statement and notes data sets made available at https://www.sec.gov/dera/data/financial-statement-and-notes-data-set.html.
