Dear Ma'am/Sir, 

I am travelling to Portugal on the 22nd of February for business trip and I am processing my visa application which requires me to provide my ITR. 

I am kindly requesting to get my 2316 form for 2021 as soon as possible. I only have 2 weeks left before the flight.

Dear Ms. Abana,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Feb 02, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request
You asked for Income Tax Return.

Response to your request
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance this Office does not have the information you have requested as ITR for 2021 is yet to be filed on or before April 15 this year, hence, this request is denied.

Please be informed also that our office is constrained by rules under Sec.13.4. a, Standard Procedure for FOI Request to wit:” The requesting party shall attach to his or her FOI request the following:
a.	At least two (2) valid government I.D.s containing the photograph and signature of the requesting part) 
As you did not attach two valid IDs with your birthdate and picture as proof of your identity and other contact details, hence your request is denied.

However, it is advised that you better ask for a copy of your 2316 directly from your employer as they are the main source of such documents. It is also mandated by law that every employer shall issue BIR Form No. 2316 to every employee before the close of such calendar year, or if employment is terminated, on the day on which the last payment of compensation is made.

Thank you and stay safe.

Respectfully,

Ana Marie Du
FOI Officer
