Dear Mr. Scorpion,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Nov 26, 2021 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request
You asked for Income tax return.

Response to your request
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, however, in this instance your request has been denied because our office is constrained by rules under Sec.13.3 Standard Procedure for FOI Request to wit:” The purpose of the request for information shall be specific or adequately and sufficiently described. General averments of the purpose such as "for information," "for research," "for legal purpose," or other similarly worded purposes shall not be considered to have met the requirements of specificity. Failure to specify the reason for or purpose of the request for information shall be a ground for denial of the FOI request.

Moreover, we are also missing from you some vital information as you did not attach two valid IDs with your birthdate and picture as proof of your identity. 

For your guidance, please refer to the Revised People's Freedom of Information Manual for the Bureau of Internal Revenue, which is available for download at the Bureau's Official Website or www.bir.gov.ph.

For your information and guidance.

Thank you.


Respectfully,

Ana Marie Du
FOI Office
