Dear Sir/Madam,

Hope you are doing well.

I am writing in through this website to request and hopefully receive a copy of my BIR 2316 form. This is for the purpose of submitting one of the employment requirement for my new employer. Regrettably, my previous employer is not able to provide me with my BIR 2316 form as they are not responding thru my emails.

It would be very much appreciated if you can send me a copy via email as I need to send it to my new employer as soon as possible.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you.

Dear Ms. Yzabelle:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Jan 20, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Request for BIR 2316.

Response to your request

If your Source of Income is Purely Compensation from your Employment, you are covered under Substituted Filing and Filing of Income Tax Return (ITR) is not required. 

Instead BIR Form 2316 will suffice and must be accomplished by your EMPLOYER for each employee receiving salaries, wages, and other forms of remuneration, indicating the total amount paid and the taxes withheld for the calendar year. 

It must be issued to the EMPLOYEE on or before Jan. 31, or on the day of last payment of wages in case of termination from employment. 

This certificate, will serve as your Income Tax Return (ITR) being an employee earning purely compensation income regardless of the amount. You are qualified to “Substituted Filing” of ITR pursuant to Revenue Regulation (RR) No. 2-98 as amended. 

Please coordinate with your employer and ask for the copy of your BIR Form 2316 from the year 2022 for your intended purpose.  The Revenue District Office (RDO) gets a hold of the said form upon submission of your employer on on or before February 28, 2023.

During the period of us awaiting your reply, your request will be put on hold. If we do not receive a reply on or before Apr 17, 2023 01:52:18 AM, your request will be closed.

We hope to hear from you at the soonest possible time.

Thank you.

Respectfully yours,

FOI Receiving Officer
Public Information and Education Division
