November 25, 2022 Dear Ms. Baguio: Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Nov 24, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your request You asked for BIR Form 2316 (2015). Response to your request In connection with your request through eFOI Portal pertaining to the request for a copy of BIR Form 2316 as a Substitute Income Tax Return for Taxable Year 2015. Please be informed that such request cannot be granted by the Revenue District Office (RDO) since the aforesaid BIR Withholding Tax Certificates were issued in 2015 and records of the RDO on those periods are already unavailable since we follow strictly the five (5) year retention period based on existing revenue issuances of the BIR (Revenue Memorandum Circular 73-2008). Hence, you may ask your previous employer for the copy of your Certificate of Compensation Payment/ Tax Withheld (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. Kindly accomplish the FOI Request Feedback Form at the link: https://bit.ly/BIRFOISurveyForm01. Thank you. Respectfully yours, FOI Officer Public Information and Education Division
