Purpose: Request a copy of BIR 2316
Date of Coverage: 06/21/2021 - 05/13/2022

MANINGAS 10:46 PM, Jun 19, 2022 

Dear Sir/Madam,

Hope you are doing well.

I am writing in through this website to request and hopefully receive a copy of my BIR 2316 form. This is for the purpose of submitting one of the employment requirement for my new employer. Regrettably, my previous employer is not able to provide me with my BIR 2316 because the company is already closed. I worked from June 2021 to May 2022.


It would be very much appreciated if you can send me a copy via email as my employment is on the line — I have to submit this on July 1st.


I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you.
