Dear Mr. Martin Estrella:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated May 11, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

You request for an Updated BIR Forms 2316 and 1905.

In response to your request, we have called your contact information to better addressed your concerns on your BIR Form 1905 and BIR Form 2316.

1. You were advised that an updated version of BIR Form 1905 -January 2018 ENCS (Application for Registration Information Update/Correction/Cancellation) was available online and can be download at the BIR Website https://www.bir.gov.ph/index.php/bir-forms/application-forms.html#af1905.
2. On your request for BIR Form 2316 from 2013-2022. Please be informed of the following:

For 2013-2015: If you are not gainfully employed or if you do not have an employer during this years then, you do not need to submit any BIR Form 2316 to your new employer.

For 2016-2020: Since you are employed at JENPACT with Business Address at Cyber Park Centris Quezon City. The duty therefore to provide you a copy of your ITR/BIR Form No. 2316 in this case for a taxable year rests upon your Employer . Your “ITR” is your personal document and as such your employer must release said document to you as a matter of right or better yet, if you have your payslips for the said year, you can give the same to help them come out with your form 2316.

Otherwise, you may try to request a copy of your BIR Form 2316 with the Revenue District Office (RDO) No. 39-South Quezon City where your employer is registered and submits reports only if your employer submitted the same to them.

For 2021-2022: if you have 2 employers  in a Calendar Year, you should submit BIR Form 2316 from the previous employer to the new employer for consolidation and computation of tax due as against tax withheld to determine the tax still payable, if any.  The new employer which is WNS Global Services shall submits the consolidated BIR Form 2316 to the Revenue District Office (RDO) where it is registered.
Hence, we advise that you coordinate with the concerned employer for your copy of BIR Form 2316.  Otherwise, you may request the RDO where the employer is registered and submits reports for a copy thereof, provided the same was submitted by such employer.

Thank you.

Respectfully,
Sherry Ann A. Cuyos
