Dear Ms. Estrellado,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Oct 14, 2021 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request
You asked for Certificate of Tax Exemption for scholarship.

Response to your request
We were able to determine that your request cannot be counted as a valid FOI request as this is part of the frontline service of the BIR, hence your request is denied.

Please be informed that ITR for 2021 is yet to be filed on or before April 15 next year, thus, we don't have a copy of the said document. . However, you may wish to request a copy of  form 2316 from your previous employer as it is mandated by law that every employer shall issue BIR Form No. 2316 to every employee before the close of such calendar year, or if employment is terminated, on the day on which the last payment of compensation is made.

On the other hand ,  the documentary requirements needed for the Processing of Application for Certificate of Exemption for Scholarship and Job/Livelihood Programs can be viewed here:

For your information and guidance.

Respectfully,

Ana Marie Du
