Dear Ms. Sevilla:

I refer to my letter of Feb 08, 2023 12:05:00 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Request for a Copy of Income Tax Return (ITR).

This is to acknowledge receipt of your email requesting for your Income Tax Return (ITR) covering Taxable Year 2021.  We would like to know 
whether you are a Mixed Income Earner (MIE)/Job Order Contract (JO)/Contract of Service (COS)/With Business or an Employee during the taxable year per your request? 

As MIE/JO/COS/With Business, it means that you have other source/s of income other than employment and you are required to file your Individual Income Tax Return (either BIR Form 1701 or BIR Form 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 an 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 the year 2022 if you have not receive a copy. The Revenue District Office (RDO) gets a hold of the said form upon submission of your employer on February 28, 2023.

Thank you.

Respectfully yours,

FOI Officer
Public Information and Education Division
