Dear Lawrence Espiritu,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Sep 29, 2020 07:44:12 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for ITR 2316.

Response to your request:

 After careful consideration, we resolve to deny your request as to the following:   Copy of your BIR Form 2316 for the period TY 2010 to 2012.

This Office does not have the information you have requested (BIR Form 2316) since it was only starting 2015 when the employers were required to furnish the BIR with scanned copies of BIR Form No. 2316.  Your employer was not required to submit copies of 2316 certificates during the periods requested.

However, your compensation and withholding tax data was found in the submitted Alphalist of Employees filed by your employer for the taxable years 2011 to 2012.  For the year 2010, however, we regret to inform you that the requested data cannot be found in our records.

A certification was made on the data gathered for your purpose, a scanned copy of which was sent thru email.

For your guidance, please refer to the Revised People's Freedom of Information Manual for the Bureau of Internal Revenue, which is available for download at the Bureau's Official Website or www.bir. gov.ph.

Thank you for availing our services.
                                                  
Very truly yours,
