Hello,
Good day!

If you have question/concerns, feel free to send me an email on rydsdc@yahoo.com. 

Thank you in advance.

Dear Dela Cruz:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Mar 05, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Income Tax Return and/or BIR Form 2316.

Response to your request

In connection with your request through eFOI Portal pertaining to the request for a copy of BIR Form 2316 as a Substitute Income Tax Return for Taxable Year/s 2010 to 2019.

Please be informed that your request for a copy/ies of your BIR Form 2316 for Taxable Years 2010 to 2018 cannot be granted by the Revenue District Office (RDO) since the aforesaid BIR Withholding Tax Certificates were issued in 2010 to 2018 and 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/ies of your BIR Form 2316 (Certificate of Compensation Payment/ Tax Withheld) 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 including your Request for BIR Form 2316 for Taxable Year 2019.

Thank you.

Respectfully yours,

FOI Receiving Officer
Public Information and Education Division
