Bureau of Internal Revenue(BIR)

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 not responsive. 


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 December 23, 2023. 

I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you.

Best, 
Julie Sierda
