I would like to request for Form 2316 from previous employer

NAME: JONATHAN A. VELECINA


February 6, 2023

Dear Mr. Velecina:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Feb 05, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for BIR Form 2316 from previous employer.

Response to your request

Please be informed that your request for a copies of BIR Form 2316 cannot be granted by the Revenue District Office (RDO) since the aforesaid BIR Withholding Tax Certificates were issued in 2001 to 2006 and records of the RDO on those periods are already unavailable since we follow strictly the four (4) 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,

FOI Officer
Public Information and Education Division
