Dear Mr. Abanes:

I refer to my letter of Apr 27, 2023 07:34:19 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Income Tax Return and/or BIR Form 2316.

In order for us to work further on your request, we need more information from you regarding your query. Relative to this, kindly provide the following;

1. Name of Employer/s for Calendar Year 2019;
2. TIN of Employer;
3. Registered Address of your Employer;
4. Your Birthday;
5. Your Address;
6. Your TIN; and
7. Your contact number (mobile no.) in case we need to call you for further information.

Kindly email the requested information at sherry.ann.arcita@bir.gov.ph and indicate in the subject email  ticket number #BIR-043673826195, to respond.

Please be informed that your request for a copy/copies of your BIR Form No. 2316 for the Calendar Year/s 2014 to 2018 cannot be granted by the Revenue District Office (RDO) because the 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).

Hence, you may ask your previous employer/s for the copy/copies of your BIR Form 2316 because all taxpayers are required to preserve their accounting records for the period of 10 years in accordance with the Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 29-2019. as this should have been provided to you by your employers.

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 Jul 21, 2023 03:54:17 AM, your request will be closed.

We hope to hear from you at the soonest possible time.

Thank you.

Respectfully,
