Dear Ms. Ma. Janine Crystel Gonzaga:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated May 05, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

You request for Income Tax Refund for 2022 calendar year.

In response to your request, please be informed of the following: 

In general, every employer or other person who is required to deduct and withhold the tax on compensation, including fringe benefits given to rank and file employees, shall furnish every employee from whose compensation taxes have been withheld the Certificate of Compensation Payment/Tax Withheld (BIR Form No. 2316) on or before January 31 of the succeeding year, or if employment is terminated before the close of such calendar year, on the day on which the last payment of compensation is made.[Section 2.83.1 of RR 3-2002]. 

The duty therefore to provide you a copy of your ITR/BIR Form No. 2316 in this case 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.

In this regard, you may ask your former employer first  for your BIR Form 2316  and see if you are entitled to the said tax refund. 

Thank you.

Respectfully,
Sherry Ann Cuyos
FOI Officer
