Dear Mr. Congson:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Sep 10, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Income Tax Return and/or BIR Form No. 2316.

Response to your request

Please be informed that your request for a copy/copies of your BIR Form No. 2316 for the Calendar Year 2000 to 2010 cannot be granted/provided by the Revenue District Offices (RDOs) where your employer/s is/are registered because the records of the RDOs on those periods are already unavailable since we follow strictly the four (4) year retention period based on existing revenue issuances of the BIR (Revenue Memorandum Circular 73-2008).

Hence, you may ask your previous employer/s for the copy/copies of your BIR Form 2316 because all taxpayers are required to preserve their accounting records for the period of 10 years in accordance with the Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 29-2019.

Kindly accomplish the FOI Request Feedback Form at the link: https://bit.ly/BIRFOISurveyForm01.

Please be informed that you have the right to appeal the decision of the undersigned with fifteen (15) days from receipt of this Notice of Denial. For your further guidance, please refer to the Revised People’s Freedom of Information Manual for the Bureau of Internal Revenue, circularized through Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 14-2022, which is available for download at the Bureau's Official Website or www.bir.gov.ph. 

Thank you.
