Dear Ms. Manahan:

I refer to my letter of Jan 25, 2023 02:31:56 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, request for  a  copy of your  Income Tax Return (ITR) and/or BIR Form 2316. 

This is to acknowledge the receipt of your eFOI concern requesting for a copy of your Income Tax Return (ITR) and/or BIR Form 2316 covering Taxable Year 2021 to 2022.  

We would like to know whether you are a Mixed Income Earner (MIE)/Job Order Contract (JO)/Contract of Service (COS) or an Employee during the Taxable Year per your request? 

As MIE/JO/COS, it means that you have other source/s of income other than employment and you are required to file your own Individual Income Tax Return (ITR) using either BIR Form 1701 and 1701A. However, if your source of income is Purely Compensation from your Employment, you are covered under Substituted Filing and filing of Income Tax Return (ITR) is not required.

Instead, BIR Form 2316 must be accomplished by your EMPLOYER for each employee receiving salaries, wages, and other forms of remuneration, indicating the total amount paid and the taxes withheld for the calendar year. 

It must be issued to the employee on or before Jan. 31 of the succeeding year, or on the day of last payment of wages in case of termination from employment. This certificate, will serve as your Income Tax Return (ITR) being an employee earning purely compensation income regardless of the amount. You are qualified to “Substituted Filing” of ITR pursuant to Revenue Regulation (RR) No. 2-98 as amended. 

Please coordinate with your employer and ask for the copy of your BIR Form 2316 from Taxable Year 2021 to 2022 if you have not receive a copy.

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 19, 2023 10:43:38 PM, your request will be closed.

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

Thank you.

Respectfully,

FOI Receiving Officer
Public Information and Education Division
