Hi, i would like to request for the copy of my BIR 2316.

i am previously employed from year 2012 up to 2017. 

My previous employer is not able to provide the BIR 2316 because the company is already closed in year 2017.

I am still hoping to get the copy of my BIR 2316 so i can send it to my new employer.. thank you and god bless.

Dear Mr. Salvador:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Dec 04, 2022 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 connection with your request through eFOI Portal pertaining to the request for a copy of BIR Form 2316 as a Substitute Income Tax Return for Taxable Year January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017.

Please be informed that such request cannot be granted by the Revenue District Office (RDO) since the aforesaid BIR Withholding Tax Certificates were issued in 2017 and records of the RDO on those periods are already unavailable since we follow strictly the five (5) year retention period based on existing revenue issuances of the BIR (Revenue Memorandum Circular 73-2008).

Hence, you may ask your previous employer/s for the copy/ies of your Certificate of Compensation Payment/ Tax Withheld (BIR Form 2316) because all taxpayers 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.

Respectfully yours,

FOI Officer
Public Information and Education Division
