Dear Ms. Magdua,

I refer to my letter of Nov 29, 2021 04:22:49 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for INCOME TAX RETURN.

In order for us to work further on your request, kindly provide us the following details (for each year from 2018-2020) and email them at ana.marie.du@bir.gov.ph. as these contain sensitive information:
What ITR form did you file? 
-Where did you file your ITR, what RDO are you registered with?
-Tax Return Confirmation Receipt (if your ITR were filed online) 

Please be informed that the ITRs that we have in our files are those returns that were filed and paid over-the-counter through our various Accredited Agent Banks; however, for no-payment returns that were filed through our eBIRforms and EFPS system, we do not have the hard copies of these returns on file. Furthermore, your ITR for 2021 is yet to be filed on or before April 15 next year hence we cannot provide you the same.

However, if you know where you filed your ITR, you may directly request it to the concerned RDO for they may also need to validate and determine if you are the rightful owner of the documents requested as these are sensitive information and are bound by the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and Sec 270 of the NIRC.

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 Feb 21, 2022 10:45:32 AM, your request will be closed.

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

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Ana Marie Du
FOI Officer
