This is in connection with your request for information, with reference number #BIR-422133911767 for the Request of BIR Form No. 2316 for the Calendar Year  (s) 2011 to 2016.

After careful consideration, we resolve to deny your request due to the following reason/s:

1.	The Revenue District Office (RDO) has no physical copies of the submitted BIR Form No. 2316 received from your employer; and
2.	Records/files of BIR Form No. 2316 for the Year (s) 2011 to 2016 were already sent to Archive as it was more than four (4) years of Retention Period per Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 73-2008.

Hence, you may ask for a copy/copies of your BIR Form No. 2316 to your previous employer (s), because All Taxpayers are required to preserve their accounting records for the period of ten (10) years in accordance with the RMC No. 29-2019.
