Good day,

This is JC Tapalla. I would like to ask for a copy of my previous BIR Form 2316 for the year 2022 and a copy of my Income Tax Return for this month-to-date.

I have lost my original copy of the BIR Form 2316 (2022).

My former employee is:
Alphaland Balesin Island Club, Inc.
Makati City, Philippines

Dear Mr. Tapalla:

I refer to my letter of Oct 15, 2023 10:24:05 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Income Tax Return and/or BIR Form No. 2316.

In reply, please be informed that you may secure your Certificate of Compensation Payment/Tax Withheld (BIR Form 2316) from your employer for the Calendar Year 2022 and 2023 (in case your employment with them has been terminated before the end of this year).

BIR Form No. 2316 is a form issued by your employer (A Certificate). Hence, you may request for the issuance of the said documents to the issuing company. You must be issued of the copy of the said form on or before January 31 of the succeeding year.

With the employer's obligation to give you the original copy of the form, it is therefore your right to request said copy from your employer. 

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Revenue District Office (RDO) where your employer (s)  is/are registered would take longer to provide you the information you have requested. They have to verify if your employer (s) has submitted to them the List of Employees Qualified under substituted Filing of Income Tax Return (Annex F). Furthermore, the date of filing should also be given for the RDO to be able to verify at the fastest possible time.

For other concern, email sherry.ann.arcita@bir.gov.ph and indicate in the email subject ticket number #BIR-710377581878, 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 Jan 08, 2024 10:52:22 PM, your request will be closed.

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

Thank you.

Respectfully,

FOI Receiving Officer
Public Information and education Division
