BIR 2316

Requested from BIR by K. Allam at 09:57 AM on Jun 07, 2023.
Purpose: Skilled Migration Purposes
Date of Coverage: 01/31/2017 - 10/11/2017
Tracking no: #BIR-951413375710

Allam 09:57 AM, Jun 07, 2023 

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

Good day.

I am writing through this website to request and hopefully receive a copy of my BIR 2316 form. This is for the purpose of submitting one of the requirement for my skilled assessment abroad. Regrettably, my previous employer is not able to provide me with my BIR 2316 immediately because they will back track all their employees records. I worked from January 31 to October 11, 2017.

It would be very much appreciated if you can send me a copy via email as my application is scheduled on the line - I have to submit this on June 19.

Thank You.

Dear Ms. Allam:

I refer to my letter of Jun 07, 2023 09:57:37 AM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for BIR Form No. 2316.

We called your mobile number today, June 7 to validate your existing eFOI request, unfortunately, our call are unsuccessful.

Please be informed “ALL EMPLOYERS WITH EMPLOYEES, WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE MINIMUM WAGE EARNERs (MWEs), ARE REQUIRED TO ISSUE BIR FORM NO. 2316. 

BIR FORM NO. 2316 SHOULD BE ISSUE ON OR BEFORE JANAURY 31 FOLLOWING THE CALENDAR YEAR, OR, IF THE EMPLOYEE IS TERMINATED BEFORE THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR, ON THE DAY THE LAST SALARY OF THE EMPLOYEE IS PAID”

The duty therefore to provide you a copy of your ITR/BIR Form No. 2316 for a taxable year rests upon your employer. Your “ITR” is your personal document and as such your employer must release said document to you as a matter of right. 

Please be informed also, that the requested BIR Form No. 2316 for Calendar Year 2017 are already unavailable since the Revenue District Office (RDO) follow strictly the four (4) year retention period based on existing revenue issuances of the BIR (Revenue Memorandum Circular 73-2008).

Hence, All Taxpayers (including your former employer) are required to preserve their accounting records for the period of 10 years in accordance with the Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 29-2019.
