I refer to my letter of Aug 13, 2022 03:15:55 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for BIR Form 2316.

If you are employed for the period January 1, 2022 to August 13, 2022, your Employer is required to issue a copy of your BIR Form 2316 for Taxable Year 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.

January 31, is the deadline of the release of BIR Form 2316 to all compensation income earners or employees of the succeeding calendar year, or if the employment is terminated before the close of such calendar year, on the day of which the last payment of compensation is made. For employees qualified under the substituted filing, employers are also required to submit the form to the BIR on or Before February 28 of the succeeding year, with accompanying Certified List of Employees Qualified for Substituted Filing of ITR (Annex “F”), reflecting the amount of income payment, the tax due and tax withheld" and should have been provided to you after it has been filed in the BIR.
