Bureau of Internal Revenue(BIR)

To Whom It May Concern,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request a copy of my 2023 BIR 2316.

The HR department at my current employer has advised that I need to provide a copy of my BIR 2316 by November 15. Unfortunately, my previous employer did not release this document on my last day of work. They explained that the processing of the BIR 2316 requires 2-3 months due to a signatory requirement from the SG side. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Dear Ms. Conde:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Oct 31, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for BIR Form No. 2316.

Response to your request

In reply, please be informed that the BIR Form No. 2316 for Calendar Year 2023 has not yet been submitted by your Employer in the Revenue District Office (RDO) because the taxable period has not yet elapsed/finished. 

The RDO gets a hold of the said BIR Form 2316 upon submission of your employer on or before February 28 (per RR 2-2015 as amended by RR 16-2021) of the following year or in your case on or before February 28, 2024.

However, you may wish to contact/coordinate with your employer in case your employment with them has been terminated/ended per Section 6 of Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 10-2008 provides that it is the responsibility of the EMPLOYER to furnish the employee his/her BIR Form 2316 on or before January 31 of the succeeding calendar year, or if the employment is terminated before the close of such calendar year, on the day of which the last payment of compensation is made. 

Thank you.

Respectfully yours,

FOI Receiving Officer
