BIR 2316 FORM

Requested from BIR by J. CAREGA at 07:21 PM on May 03, 2023.
Purpose: To submit for my employment requirements.
Date of Coverage: 05/17/2017 - 05/03/2023
Tracking no: #BIR-649266920997

CAREGA 07:21 PM, May 03, 2023 

Dear Sir/Madam,

Hope you are doing well.

I am writing in through this website to request and hopefully receive a copy of my BIR 2316 form. This is for the purpose of submitting one of the employment requirement for my new employer. Regrettably, my previous employer is not able to provide me with my BIR 2316 because the company is already closed. I worked from May 2017 up until the present date.


It would be very much appreciated if you can send me a copy via email as my employment is on the line — I have to submit this as soon as possible.


I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you.

Sir:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated May 03, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for BIR Form 2316.

Response to your request

In reply, please be informed that “ALL EMPLOYERS WITH EMPLOYEES, WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE MINIMUM WAGE EARNERs (MWEs), ARE REQUIRED TO ISSUE BIR FORM NO. 2316. 

BIR FORM NO. 2316 SHOULD BE ISSUE ON OR BEFORE JANAURY 31 FOLLOWING THE CALENDAR YEAR, OR, IF THE EMPLOYEE IS TERMINATED BEFORE THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR, ON THE DAY THE LAST SALARY OF THE EMPLOYEE IS PAID”

The duty therefore to provide you a copy of your ITR/BIR Form No. 2316 for a taxable year rests upon your employer/agency. Your “ITR” is your personal document and as such your employer must release said document to you as a matter of right or better yet, if you have your payslips for the said year, you can give the same to help them come out with your form 2316.

Kindly coordinate with your employer/agency if you have not receive a copy of your BIR Form 2316 for Calendar Year 2017 to 2022.

You can also ask your employer/agency if they have submitted to the Revenue District Office (RDO) Notarized Annex F- Certified List of Employees Qualified under Substituted Filing and scanned copies of the BIR Form 2316. As this should be submitted by your employer to the RDO every February 28 of the following year.

Thank you.

Respectfully yours,
