Dear Ms. Hije,

I refer to my letter of Jan 31, 2023 04:27:46 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Income Tax Return and/or BIR Form 2316.

We called your mobile number today, February 1,  to validate your existing FOI request but was unsuccessful. 

We would like to know whether you are a Mixed Income Earner (MIE)/Job Order Contract (JO)/Contract of Service (COS)/With Business or an Employee during the taxable year per your request? 

As MIE/JO/COS/With Business, it means that you have other source/s of income other than employment and you are required to file your Individual Income Tax Return (either BIR Form 1701 or BIR Form 1701A). 

However, 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 must be accomplished by an 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 of the succeeding year, 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 be advised that BIR Form 2316 is considered as your Annual Income Tax Return since you are earning purely compensation income. Your Employer/s __________________ are supposed to provide you with this form “Na Dapat Po Ibibigay Ito Sa Mga Empleyado” every year before January of the following year.

Please coordinate with your employer and ask for the copy of your BIR Form 2316 from the year 2014 to 2018 if you have not receive a copy. 

For assistance, kindly email sherry.ann.arcita@bir.gov.ph and indicate in the subject email ticket number #BIR-528978952539, to respond.

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 25, 2023 11:50:16 PM, your request will be closed.

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

Thank you.

Respectfully,

FOI Receiving Officer

FOI Receiving Officer
Public Information and Education Division;

   Regarding my request , I would like to inform you that it is covered where  I was employed from my previous  (two company) to be  more clearly defined. Upon my resignation I were'nt receive any copy of BIR from 2316. This is the reason why  I decided to  send a request for the said documents, which I needed as a requirement for school enrollment purposes. Since I am  a full time housewife now , I am hoping to use my previous withheld tax.
   Thank you for your response regarding my concern.  I will send an e-mail to the contact that you've provided me.

Respectfully yours, 
Juliet H, Hije
