Dear Katherine Cobing:

I refer to my letter of Aug 16, 2022 07:20:05 AM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Income Tax Return (ITR).

In order for us to work further on your request, we need more information from you regarding your query. You have indicated in your request that you require a copy of your ITR for Taxable Period January 01, 2021 to January 01, 2022. For verification and clarification, kindly provide additional information on the following:

1. Did you have a registered business between the period January 01, 2021 to January 01, 2022? Or were you an individual earning on purely compensation income from the period January 01, 2021 to January 01, 2022?

2.  If employed, kindly provide the name of your employer and registered address of your Employer for the period January 01, 2021 to January 01, 2022?

3. Withstanding your answer to the first and second query, did you file an ITR for the cited period?

If you are an Employee for the period January 01, 2021 to January 01, 2022, your Employer is required to issue a copy of your BIR Form 2316 for Taxable Year 2021-2022 pursuant to Section 2.83 of Revenue Regulations No. 02-98, as amended which provides that “The employer shall furnish each employee with the original and duplicate copies of Form No. 2316 xxx.” As proof that your taxes were withheld. This shall serve as your Income Tax Return (ITR) and can be use for your intended purpose. 

Kindly email the needed information at sherry.ann.arcita@bir.gov.ph (as this contains sensitive information). Indicate in the email subject tracking number #BIR-533394688903, 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 Nov 08, 2022 03:53:53 AM, your request will be closed.

Good evening Maam. 

As to the clarification, 

1. No. I am without any business. 

2. Yes. I am employed with the PNP since 2014.

3. Yes. I have been given my copy of the ITR but unfortunately, I lost it. So I am requesting for another copy of my latest ITR available,  which shall be used for my job transfer.

Thank you so much.
