Hi, I would like to request for BIR Form 2316 from my previous employer this year as for the requirement of my new job. Thank you.

April 22, 2022

Dear Ms. Glyndette Alcoseba:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Apr 22, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for FORM 2316.

Response to your request, we resolve to deny your request since it is the responsibility of your previous employer to give you your BIR Form 2316 being their withholding agent and main source of the document for calendar year 2021. Then you should have a copy of the same.

In cases covered by “substituted filing” – the income tax on which has been correctly withheld (tax due equals tax withheld), the employer shall furnish each employee with the original copy of BIR Form 2316 and file/submit to the BIR – Revenue District Office where registered the duplicate copy of the return not later than February 28 following the close of the calendar year. BIR Form 2316 will suffice and thus becomes the “substitute” income tax return of the employee.

Thank you.

Respectfully,
Sherry Ann Cuyos
FOI Officer
