Hi, I would like to request for my ITRs for the years 2016-2019. I would need it as a proof that I was employed during those years. My TIN# is 330289531.
March 2, 2023 Dear Mr. Balanay: I refer to my letter of Mar 01, 2023 09:34:14 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Income Tax Return and/or BIR Form 2316. In reply, please be informed that your request for a copies of your BIR Form 2316 for Taxable Years 2016 to 2018 cannot be granted by the Revenue District Office (RDO) since the aforesaid BIR Withholding Tax Certificates were issued in 2016 to 2018 and 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/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. On your other request, for a copy of your BIR Form 2316 for Taxable Year 2019, kindly provide us the following information: 1. Complete Name and Address of your Employer; and 2. TIN Number of your Employer, for us to coordinate and endorse to the RDO where your employer is registered. Email the needed information at [email protected] and indicate in the email subject ticket number #BIR-752183876358, to respond. During the period of us awaiting your reply, your request will be put on hold. If we do not receive a reply on or before May 25, 2023 03:46:31 AM, your request will be closed. We hope to hear from you at the soonest possible time. Thank you. Respectfully, FOI Receiving Officer Public Information and Education Division
