Dear Mr. Cueto:

I refer to my letter of Jul 07, 2023 10:53:53 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Requesting for my ITR.

In order to identify or locate the requested information, we are seeking for further clarification specifically:

1. Did you have a Registered Business between the period 2019-2023 ? Or were you an Individual Earning on Purely Compensation Income from the period 2019-2023?

2.  If Employed, kindly provide the Complete Name of your Employer/s, Employer’s TIN and Employer’s Registered Address for the period 2019-2023?

3. Withstanding your answer to the first and second query, did you file an ITR for the cited period?

As an added note/reference, if you are an Employee for the period 2019-2023, your EMPLOYER is required to issue a copy of your BIR Form 2316 for Calendar Year/s 2019-2023 pursuant to Section 2.83.1 of Revenue Regulations No. 02-98, as amended which provides that “The EMPLOYER shall furnish each employee with the original copies of Form No. 2316 xxx.” As proof that your taxes were withheld. This will serve as your Income Tax Return (ITR).

Kindly email the requested information (mentioned in item #2) at vanessa.badeo@bir.gov.ph and indicate in the email subject tracking number #BIR-053032901156, 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 Oct 02, 2023 02:16:11 AM, your request will be closed.
