It is suggested and highly recommended that the aforesaid Withholding Tax Certificate (BIR Form 2316) was been provided by your employers to you after it was submitted to the Revenue District Office (RDO) and it is advisable if you maintained a file copy of the documents. 

You may directly request for a copy of your ITR (BIR Form 2316) from your (previous) employer/s as they are primary/original source of such document.

* For BIR Form 2316 issued for Taxable Years 2012 to 2019 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). 

Thank you for availing our services.
