To whom it may concern,

I would like to request a copy of BIR 2316 for the years 2013-2017., if possible. I lost my copies when i started working overseas. 

I am employed under REALAPGE (PHILIPPINES) TIN: 008 085 702 000. I would need to present this as proof of employment. 

Hoping for your response on this.

Dear Ms. Ramirez:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Feb 23, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Request for copy of your 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 2013 to 2017.

Please be informed that such request cannot be granted by the Revenue District Office (RDO) No. 43-Pasig City since the aforesaid BIR Withholding Tax Certificates were issued in 2013 to 2017 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 (Realapge) for the copy/ies of your Certificate of Compensation Payment/ Tax Withheld (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 yours,

FOI Receiving Officer
Public Information and Education Division
