Dear Mr. Azarcon:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Mar 13, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Copy of Income Tax Return and/or BIR Form 2316.

Response to your request

In connection with your request through eFOI Portal pertaining to the request for a copy of BIR Form 2316 as a Substitute Income Tax Return for Calendar Year/s 2011-2015.

Please be informed that your request cannot be granted by the Revenue District Office (RDO) since the aforesaid BIR Form 2316 (Certificate of Compensation Payment/ Tax Withheld) were issued in 2011 to 2015 and records of the RDO 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/ies of your BIR Form 2316 (Certificate of Compensation Payment/ Tax Withheld 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.

Thank you.

Respectfully yours,
