Dear eFOI user,
Mabuhay!
Thank you for utilizing the eFOI portal (www.foi.gov.ph) and exercising your right to information under Executive Order No. 2, s. 2016 on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
We have received your request on BIR Form No. 2316, dated yesterday.
After careful consideration, we resolve to deny your request due to the following reasons:
- The Revenue District Office (RDO) has no physical copies of the submitted BIR Form No. 2316 received from your employer; and
- Records/files of BIR Form No. 2316 for the Year (s) 2013 to 2018 were already sent to Archive as it was more than four (4) years of Retention Period per Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 73-2008.
Hence, you may ask for a copy/copies of your BIR Form No. 2316 to your previous employer (s), because All Taxpayers are required to preserve their accounting records for the period of ten (10) years in accordance with the RMC No. 29-2019.
