Dear Jaziel Mae Gementiza,

Good day!  This refers to your request for the Number of Employed Taxpayers in Davao City.

In order for us to work further on your request, we need more information from you regarding your query. <In particular, it would be helpful to know if what you mean by "EMPLOYED TAXPAYERS" are taxpayers who are earning purely compensation income and with an employer-employee relationship?  We need to be clarified as to the specific data that you need since we also have the so-called Self-Employed Individuals.  In addition ma'am, in case you still haven't submitted it to our agency's FOI Receiving Officer, we would also like to request for a copy of an indorsement signed by your supervising teacher/professor or instructor regarding your request>.  You may use the reply function on the eFOI portal at https://foi.gov.ph/requests/aglzfmVmb2ktcGhyHQsSB0NvbnRlbnQiEEJJUi02ODc3OTE4Nzc3ODQM, for request with ticket number #BIR-687791877784, to respond.

During the period of us awaiting your reply, your request will be put on hold. If we do not receive a reply on or before Dec 02, 2021 05:59:46 AM, your request will be closed.

We hope to hear from you at the soonest possible time.
