Pacana 01:53 AM, Aug 09, 2023 

To whom it may concern,

I would like to request a copy of my previous latest Income Tax Return. My contract with my previous employer has already been terminated since Mar 2023. I have received a letter regarding termination of my contract but I haven't received a copy of my BIR Form 2316.

Thank you.

Dear Ms. Pacana:

I refer to my letter of Aug 09, 2023 01:53:31 AM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for 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 employer if you have not receive a copy of your BIR Form 2316 for Calendar Year (CY) 2022 or BIR Form 2316 for CY 2023 (in case your employment with your employer has been terminated before the close of the calendar year). 

For other concern, email sherry.ann.arcita@bir.gov.ph and indicate in the email subject ticket number #BIR-213026875568, 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 Nov 01, 2023 12:54:38 AM, 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
