Dear Ms. Puebla,
I refer to my letter of Sep 22, 2021 11:41:33 AM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Income Tax Return for 2020 of TIN 308357239.
In order for us to work further on your request, we need more information from you regarding your query in order for us to work further on your request, . Kindly provide us the following details for us to properly endorse your request to the concerned RDO and email it at ana.marie.du@bir.gov.ph.and email it at ana.marie.du@bir.gov.ph as these are sensitive information:
- What ITR did you file? Was it 1700 or 1701?
- Where did you file your ITR, what RDO are you registered with?
- Your TIN (if self-employed)
- If employed, please indicate your employer’s TIN, RDO no., business name & address
- Tax Return Confirmation Receipt (if your ITR were filed online)
Also, kindly provide us your contact number, two government-issued IDs and your selfie picture, as proof of your identity.
Please be informed that the ITRs that we have in our files are those returns that were filed and paid over-the-counter through our various Accredited Agent Banks; however, for no-payment returns that were filed through our eBIRforms and EFPS system, we do not have the hard copies of these returns on file.
If you have been employed, your BIR Form 2316 should have been issued to you by your employer as it is mandated by law that every employer shall issue BIR Form No. 2316 to every employee before the close of such calendar year, or if employment is terminated, on the day on which the last payment of compensation is made. This should be filed as an attachment to your ITR.
Furthermore, an employee whose income tax has been correctly withheld by your employer is not required to file an income tax return provided that such individual has only one employer and has been qualified for substituted filing for the taxable year - the Certificate of Withholding filed by the respective employers, duly stamped "Received" by the Bureau, shall be tantamount to the filing of income tax returns by said employees.
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 Dec 15, 2021 08:10:01 AM, your request will be closed.
We hope to hear from you at the soonest possible time.
Thank you.
Respectfully,
Ana Marie Du
FOI Officer
