You asked for BIR - ITR 2316.

Response to your request

In reply, please be informed that your request for a copies of your BIR Form No. 2316 for the Calendar Year (s) 2005 to 2013 cannot be granted/provided by the Revenue District Offices (RDOs) where your Employer (s) is/are registered because the records of the RDOs 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 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.
