Dear Ms. Munoz:

I refer to my letter of Apr 25, 2023 10:46:18 AM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Request a copy of all my Income Tax Return and/or BIR Form 2316.

We called your mobile number today, April 25 and apprised you of the following:

1.) BIR Form 2316 for Calendar Years 2009 to 2018 - can not be granted by the Revenue District Office (RDO) where your employer's are registered, because the 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/copies of your 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.

2.) BIR Form 2316 for Calendar Years 2019 to 2022 - Kindly provide your employer's name, employer's TIN and employer's business address and email them at sherry.ann.arcita@bir.gov.ph and indicate in the email subject ticket number #BIR-890822927963, to respond.

You can also include in the email your employment history/tenure to check if you have successive or concurrent employers within the calendar year or you are covered by substituted filing from one (1) employer within the calendar year.

The income tax on which has been correctly withheld (tax due equals tax withheld), the employer shall furnish each employee with the original copy of BIR Form 2316 and file/submit to the BIR – Revenue District Office where registered the duplicate copy of the return not later than February 28 following the close of the calendar year. BIR Form 2316 will suffice and thus becomes the “substitute” income tax return of the employee.

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 Jul 18, 2023 03:59:02 AM, 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
