Dear Ms. Delos Santos:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Jun 23, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Income Tax Return (ITR) and/or BIR Form No. 2316.

Response to your request

Please be informed that your request for a copy of your BIR Form No. 2316 for the Calendar Year 2018 cannot be granted/provided by the Revenue District Office (RDO) because the 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 for the copy of your BIR Form No. 2316 because all taxpayers (including your previous employer) 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.
