Dear Arne Royce Tiangson, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated October 06, 2020 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your request: You requested for a copy of your ITR 2316 for the period TY 2010 to 2012. Response to your request: After careful consideration, we resolve to grant your request but only up to the compensation and withholding tax information found in the Alphalist of Employees filed by your employer for the taxable years 2011 to 2012. For the year 2010, however, we regret to inform you that the requested data cannot be found in our records. A certification was made on the data gathered for your purpose, a scanned copy of which was sent thru email. Based on the reason stated below, we resolve to deny your request as to the following information: Copy of your ITR 2316 for the period TY 2010 to 2012. This Office does not have the information you have requested (ITR 2316) since it was only starting 2015 when the employers were required to furnish the BIR with scanned copies of BIR Form No. 2316. Your employer was not required to submit copies of 2316 certificates during the period requested. For your guidance, please refer to the Revised People's Freedom of Information Manual for the Bureau of Internal Revenue, which is available for download at the Bureau's Official Website or www.bir. gov.ph. Thank you for availing our services. Very truly yours, FERLY ANN P. MONTALBAN Group Supervisor, RLTAD 3 FOI Receiving Officer
