Dear  Ms. Cruz:

I refer to my letter of Jun 05, 2023 05:15:04 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for BIR Form 1700 Income Tax Return.

In order for us to work further on your request, we need more information from you regarding your query. Please be informed that BIR Form 1700 is the Income Tax Return file by a Local Employee who did not qualify under the substituted filing (the Certificate of Tax Withheld – BIR Form 2316 issued by the employer serves as the 1700 or Income Tax Return of the employee). In particular, it would be helpful to know the following details:

1)	What is the Complete name indicated in the Income Tax Return you filed?
2)	What is your Tax Identification Number as indicated in your filed return?
3)	What Revenue District Office No. did you file your form 1700?
4)	Did you file online or over the counter?

Please be informed further that this office does not have copies of the “No Payment” returns filed either through eBIRForms or eFPS.

Email the requested information at sherry.ann.arcita@bir.gov.ph and indicate in the email subject ticket number #BIR-367554625728, to respond.

During the period of us awaiting your reply, your request will be put on hold. If we do not receive a reply on or before Aug 28, 2023 11:55:34 PM, your request will be closed.

We hope to hear from you at the soonest possible time.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

FOI Receiving Officer
