Dear Mr. Spencer:
Thank you for your request dated Oct 12, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Income Tax Return.
We received your request on Oct 12, 2022 and will respond on or before Nov 02, 2022 04:29:17 PM, in accordance with the Executive Order's implementing rules and regulations.
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/s 2000 to 2005 and 2012 to 2017.
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 2000 to 2005 and 2012 to 2017 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/ies 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.
For Taxable Year 2018, we have endorsed your request to Revenue District Office (RDO) No. 38-North Quezon City for appropriate action.
Should you have any questions regarding your request, kindly contact me using the reply function on the eFOI portal at https://www.foi.gov.ph/requests/aglzfmVmb2ktcGhyHQsSB0NvbnRlbnQiEEJJUi00NDQ2Mzc0MjQ0NDUM, for request with ticket number #BIR-444637424445.
