The xs:gYear type stores a year in the format CCYY, where CC is the century and YY is the year (00–99). The overall year must include at least four digits and may have a preceding negative sign. Acceptable values include 1970, -0044, and 0801.

A time zone relative to Coordinated Universal Time, also known as Greenwich Time or UTC, may also be added. If there is a time zone, the format is ±hh:mm, wherein a plus or minus sign is followed by a two-digit value for hours, then a colon, and then a two-digit value for minutes. You can also use Z in place of the time zone, indicating UTC. Valid xs:gYear values with a time zone include 1970+05:00, 0044-10:30, and 0801Z.
