Dear Ms. Jabagat:
I refer to my letter of Nov 20, 2022 10:30:52 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, request for a copy of your Latest Income Tax Return (ITR).
We called your mobile number today, November 21, to validate your existing FOI request but it was unsuccessful.
In order for us to work further on your request, we need more information from you regarding your query. You have indicated in your request that you require a copy of your Income Tax Return (ITR) for Taxable Period 2020-2022. For verification and clarification, kindly provide additional information on the following:
1. Did you have a registered business between the period 2020-2022? Or were you an individual earning on purely compensation income from the period 2020-2022?
2. If employed, kindly provide the name of your employer/s and registered address of your Employer for the period 2020-2022?
3. Withstanding your answer to the first and second query, did you file an ITR for the cited period?
Lastly, if you are an Employee for the period 2020-2022, your EMPLOYER is required to issue a copy of your BIR Form 2316 for the Taxable Year/s 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.” As proof that your taxes were withheld. This shall serve as your Income Tax Return (ITR).
January 31, is the deadline of the release of BIR Form 2316 to all compensation income earners or employees of the succeeding calendar year, or if the employment is terminated before the close of such calendar year, on the day of which the last payment of compensation is made.
For Employees qualified under the substituted filing, EMPLOYERS are also required to submit the BIR Form 2316 to the BIR on or before February 28 of the succeeding year, with accompanying Certified List of Employees Qualified for Substituted Filing of ITR (Annex “F”), reflecting the amount of income payment, the tax due and tax withheld.” and should have been provided to you after it has been filed in the BIR.
Kindly email the requested information at sherry.ann.arcita@bir.gov.ph as this contains sensitive information and indicate in the email subject tracking number #BIR-320549479543, to respond.
