REQUESTING FOR COPY MY BIR 2316

Requested from BIR by M. Aguilar at 08:06 PM on Oct 16, 2023.
Purpose: Submission of requirement for new employer
Date of Coverage: 09/29/2023 - 10/16/2023
Tracking no: #BIR-048907075979

Aguilar 08:07 PM, Oct 16, 2023 

Hi, to whom it may concern,

I am writing in this website to request and hopefully receive a copy of my BIR 2316 form. This is for the purpose of submitting one of the employment requirement for my new employer. The reason why I am requesting directly was I don't have any contact to my previous employer. I worked from October 2021to March 2023.


It would be very much appreciated if you can send me a copy via email. I have to submit it on or before October 20, 2023.


I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Aguilar,

I refer to my letter of Oct 16, 2023 08:06:59 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for REQUESTING FOR COPY MY BIR 2316.

In reply, please be informed that you may secure your Certificate of Compensation Payment/Tax Withheld (BIR Form 2316) from your employer for the Calendar Year 2021 to 2023.

BIR Form No. 2316 is a form issued by your employer (A Certificate). Hence, you may request for the issuance of the said documents to the issuing company. You must be issued of the copy of the said form on or before January 31 of the succeeding year.

With the employer's obligation to give you the original copy of the form, it is therefore your right to request said copy from your employer. 

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Revenue District Office (RDO) where your employer (s)  is/are registered would take longer to provide you the information you have requested. They have to verify if your employer (s) has submitted to them the List of Employees Qualified under substituted Filing of Income Tax Return (Annex F). Furthermore, the date of filing should also be given for the RDO to be able to verify at the fastest possible time.

For other concern, email sherry.ann.arcita@bir.gov.ph and indicate in the email subject ticket number #BIR-048907075979, to respond.

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 Jan 08, 2024 11:49:10 PM, your request will be closed.

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

Thank you.

Respectfully,

FOI Officer
Public Information and Education Division
