Dear Mr. Ingoy:

I refer to my letter of Jan 21, 2023 04:11:02 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Income Tax Return Form 2316.

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/s 2017 to 2020.

Please be informed that your request for a copy of your BIR Form 2316 for the taxable years 2017 to 2018 cannot be granted by the Revenue District Office (RDO) since the aforesaid BIR Withholding Tax Certificates were issued in2017 to 2018 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.

On your other request for a copy of your BIR Form 2316 for Taxable Years 2019 to 2020, kindly provide us the following data in order for us to evaluate your requested information:

1. Your Tax Identification Number (TIN);
2. Name of your Employer/s (For 2019 to 2020);
3. TIN of your Employer/s; and
4. Address of your Employer/s.

Email the needed information at sherry.ann.arcita@bir.gov.ph and indicate in the email subject ticket number #BIR-732267773571, 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 Apr 17, 2023 02:19:22 AM, your request will be closed.

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

Thank you.

Respectfully,

FOI Receiving Officer
