Dear Mr. Butch Francisco:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Jun 30, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

You request for Income Tax Return or BIR Form 2316 for Employees Qualified under Substituted Filing.

In reply, the BIR Form 2316 (Certificate of Compensation Payment/Tax Withheld) is an official document that states an employee's gross income and the appropriate taxes withheld by the employer during the year/period. BIR Form 2316 prove that an employee's pay was subjected to income tax. 

A separate BIR Form 2316 has to be prepared, completed and issued by EMPLOYERS for each employee that received a salary, wage or any other form of remuneration from the employer during the previous year/period – in this case, for the year 2021.

You can request from your employer a copy of your BIR Form 2316 pursuant to Section 2.83 of Revenue Regulations No. 02-98, as amended which provides that “The employer shall furnish each employee with the original and duplicate copies of Form No. 2316 xxx.”.

Thank you.

Respectfully,
Sherry Ann Cuyos
FOI Officer
