Dear Mr. Songcuan:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Nov 17, 2023 11:58:59 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for BIR FORM 2316.

Response to your request


In reply, please be informed that your request for a copy/copies of your Income Tax Return and/or BIR Form No. 2316 for the Calendar Year 2017 cannot be granted/provided 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

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Alternate FOI Receiving Officer
Public Information and Education Division
