Hi I would like request for a copy of my ITR for the year 2019. Regards, Darren Eldrin David
November 20, 2023 Dear Mr. David: Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Nov 18, 2023 04:28:04 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your request You asked for BIR Form 2316. Response to your request In reply, please be informed that your request for a copy/copies of your Income Tax Return and/or BIR Form No. 2316 for the Calendar Year 2019 cannot be granted/provided by the Revenue District Office (RDO) because the records of the RDO on those periods are already unavailable since we follow strictly the four (4) year retention period based on existing revenue issuances of the BIR (Revenue Memorandum Circular 73-2008). Hence, you may ask your previous employer/s for the copy/copies of your BIR Form 2316 because all taxpayers are required to preserve their accounting records for the period of 10 years in accordance with the Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 29-2019. Thank you. Respectfully, Alternate FOI Receiving Officer Public Information and Education Division
