Dear Mr. Cabanes,

I refer to my letter of Feb 21, 2022 05:07:10 AM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for INCOME TAX RETURN.

In order for us to properly endorse and work further on your request, we need more information from you regarding your query. If you are asking for ITR, kindly provide us with the following details and email them at ana.marie.du@bir.gov.ph. as these contain sensitive information
-What ITR form did you file for CY 2017? 
-Where did you file your ITR, what RDO are you registered with?
-Tax Return Confirmation Receipt (if your ITR was filed online) 

Please be informed that the ITRs that we have in our files are those returns that were filed and paid over-the-counter through our various Accredited Agent Banks; however, for no-payment returns that were filed through our eBIRforms and EFPS system, we do not have the hard copies of these returns on file. 

However, we would also like to suggest that if you know where you filed your ITR, you may directly request it to the concerned RDO, bring the duplicate/xerox copy with you for they may also need to validate and determine if you are the rightful owner of the documents requested as these are sensitive information and are bound by the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and Sec 270 of the NIRC.

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 May 16, 2022 03:24:47 PM, your request will be closed.

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

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Ana Marie Du
FOI Officer

Good day,

I do not have any idea about the ITR forms that was filed since it was my former employer who did all the paperwork for us including the registration for my TIN Number.

I am now living overseas so it is impossible for my go to the designated RDO.

Is it possible that I just request what my TIN number is please? I really need it to open a peso account from overseas. This is the remaining requirement that is holding me off.

I have attached my Philippine valid IDs that I have left and sent it to ana.marie.du@bir.gov.ph

Please advise.

Thank you.
