Bureau of Internal Revenue(BIR)

Dear Sir/Madam,

Hope you are doing well.

I am writing in through this website to request and hopefully receive a copy of my BIR 2316 form for the year 2023. This is for the purpose of submitting one of the employment requirement for my new employer. Regrettably, my previous employer is not responding to my request. I worked from December 2022 to April 2023.


It would be very much appreciated if you can send me a copy via email as my employment is on the line — I have to submit this on October 25th.


I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you.

October 23, 2023

Dear Ms. Esteban:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Oct 23, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Request Form - BIR 2316 for Year 2023.

Response to your request

In reply, please be informed that the BIR Form No. 2316 (Certificate of Compensation Payment/Tax Withheld for Compensation Payment With or without Tax Withheld) 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
