To whom it may concern,

I would like to request a copy of my previous latest Income Tax Return year 2022. I left the company I worked for last Feb. 2023 but they have not given me a copy of my ITR

Thank you.

Dear Ms. Ventura:

I refer to my letter of Jul 04, 2023 06:15:36 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Request of copy of ITR (BIR Form 2316).

In reply, please be informed that “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 or better yet, if you have your payslips for the said year, you can give the same to help them come out with your form 2316.

Kindly coordinate with your former employer if you have not receive a copy of your BIR Form 2316 for Calendar Year 2022.

For other concern, kindly email sherry.ann.arcita@bir.gov.ph and indicate in the subject email ticket number #BIR-020525311346, to respond.
