The Certificate of Compensation Payment/Tax Withheld For Compensation Payment With or Without Tax Withheld (BIR Form 2316) SHOULD BE ISSUED by your employer as it is mandated by law that every employer shall issue BIR Form No. 2316 to every employee if employment is terminated before the close of such calendar year, or on the day on which the last payment of compensation is made. In this instance, kindly provide us the Name of your Employer for the period 2013 and 2014, Employer Business Address and Employer's Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) for us to endorse your concern to the Revenue District Office (RDO) where your employer is registered and where they submits BIR reports/returns.
