Good day!
I am Paolo R. Plopenio, a government employee. I would like to request for a copy of my BIR Form 2316 for the years 2020 and 2021, respectively. I have been furnished by my employer with my BIR Form 2316 in 2020, however, I lost the copy in my possession despite efforts to retrieve it. My 2021 copy is still with my employer after I signed it months ago. But given the urgency of the copies to prove my tax contributions in my visa application, hence I am submitting this request.
I hope that this request may be given immediate concern. Thank you in advance.
