April 18, 2023 Dear Ms. Pantua: Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Apr 16, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your request You asked for Income Tax Return (2015-2018). Response to your request Please be informed that your request for a copy/copies of your BIR Form No. 2316 for the Calendar Year/s 2015 to 2018 cannot be granted 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. FOI Receiving Officer Public Information and Education Division
