Dear Ms. Quitoras:

I refer to my letter of Jun 19, 2023 10:25:08 AM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for CERTIFICATE OF COMPENSATION PAYMENT/ TAX WITHHELD.

In reply, we called your mobile number today, June 19 to validate your existing eFOI request, however, it was unsuccessful.

please be informed that “ALL EMPLOYERS WITH EMPLOYEES, WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE MINIMUM WAGE EARNERs (MWEs), ARE REQUIRED TO ISSUE BIR FORM NO. 2316. 
BIR FORM NO. 2316 SHOULD BE ISSUE ON OR BEFORE JANAURY 31 FOLLOWING THE CALENDAR YEAR, OR, IF THE EMPLOYEE IS TERMINATED BEFORE THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR, ON THE DAY THE LAST SALARY OF THE EMPLOYEE IS PAID”

The duty therefore to provide you a copy of your Income Tax Return and/or BIR Form No. 2316 for a taxable year rests upon your employer. Your “ITR” is your personal document and as such your employer must release said document to you as a matter of right or better yet, if you have your payslips for the said year, you can give the same to help them come out with your form 2316.

Kindly coordinate with your employer if you have not receive a copy of your BIR Form 2316 for Calendar Year 2021 to 2022.

For other concern, kindly email [email protected] and indicate in the email subject ticket number #BIR-903485418202, to respond.
