Dear Mr. Raymundo:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Dec 05, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for a copies of your BIR Form 2316.

Response to your request

In connection with your request through eFOI Portal pertaining to the request for a copy of BIR Form 2316 as a Substitute Income Tax Return for Taxable Year/s September 10, 2013 to April 30, 2018.

Please be informed that such request cannot be granted by the Revenue District Office (RDO) since the aforesaid BIR Withholding Tax Certificates were issued in 2013 to 2018 and records of the RDO on those periods are already unavailable since we follow strictly the five (5) 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/ies of your Certificate of Compensation Payment/ Tax Withheld (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.

Kindly accomplish the FOI Request Feedback Form at the link: https://bit.ly/BIRFOISurveyForm01.

Thank you.

Respectfully yours,

FOI Officer
Public Information and Education Division
