Hi. I’ve read in one of your responses, that the “digitized” pvc-type TIN card… has long been discontinued. Now here are my questions: 1) When was it officially discontinued? 2) Why is it that some establishments (e.g. banks) are still looking for the new digitized TIN card? 3) Didn’t BIR made any official announcement for establishments to honor the TIN card made of cardboard? Thanks. Hoping for your quick reply.
hi dixzie,
the BIR doesn’t actually process 2316 certificate. It is certified and done by employers because they are the one who are withholding tax from their employees. The BIR offices can provide these forms but it will be the employer who will fill it out and attest to the correctness of the information in the 2316.
just asking is it easy to process/request for a BIR form 2316?thanks!
Hi Nastasha, I believe so. You can file your application personally at the 7th floor of the National Office of the BIR in Diliman. Submit your resume and letter of application.
Hi Melai,
digitized TIN ID? do you mean a PVC type TIN Card? the BIR has long discontinued this and presently prints these TIN Cards in cardboard type of paper. It will be the taxpayers who will place their pics and laminate it.

Hid Mark, if you have an old copy of this 2316 certificate. You will see that the one attesting to this certificate is you employer not the BIR. Under the substituted filing policy of the Bureau. The employers are the ones who will certify the said certificate 2316 since they are the one’s who actually withheld and remitted your tax. Please note they don’t send any copy to the BIR of your 2316. They file it thru another form if I’m not mistaken the 1604CF with list of the employees they withheld these taxes. Anyway, you have the right to demand this from your employer since they have your records and they are the one’s who should attest to said certificate 2316. should they fail or refuse to give you this. You can file a formal complaint with RDO who has jurisdiction over the address of the said employer.

Good Morning Sir, Ask ko lng is there any other way para makakuha ng BIR 2316? aside from getting from previous employer? Ang tagal kasi nila ibigay eh at kailangan ko po yun kaagad..
thanks
Hi Gemma, I can’t really say if they will allow scanned copy of 1905. what i know is that they require you to fax the said form to the registration section of RDO 40. Anyway, heres their contact number 373-3759. Look for Pura Niles. with regards to tax exemption you are entitled to this if you have filed 1902 update on your registration with your employer. I believe when the RA 9504 took effect it required to update all registration. So that the new rate of tax exemption implemented thru this RA will be effected to taxpayers ITR. which increased to 50K for married, single or head of the family. the dependents can only be accredited to either one of you. But it usually goes to the father. Both of you can have the 50K exemption. That is if your both working.
Hellow Chai, you can get a TIN Card but you will need to request this with the Revenue District Officer based on RR 5-2010 ruling.
Sir: ask ko lang po tungkol sa tax excemption. pano po kung mag-aswa parehong nagtatrabaho, example po may 4 silang anak, pareho po ba silang magiging tax exempt dahil sa kanilang dependents?
hi, gusto ko po sana magpatransfer ng rdo from cubao to trece martirez, ask ko lang po kung pwede scanned 1905 form ang isend ko, tsaka po kung pwede malaman kung sino pwede contact person at email add na magrereceive ng transfer ko sa RDO 040. It would be a big help kung matutulungan nyo ko. Thanks po.
gud evening sir..if i applied for 1904 wala po ba ako makukuhang tin id or card? just the tin lang po? thanks .
Hi Edwin, you can request for a TIN card with the Revenue District Office of the BIR where your TIN is currently registered. To know this, just call the BIR TIN Verification Office at 926-8339 this is their updated number or the BIR Contact center at 981-8888. Get the address of your RDO. Thats where you will be going. The BIR form you will need is BIR form 1905 Part II check box “K” write down TIN Card.

@birtaxinfo: thanks for the response! it’s informative! 
“This is not about closing businesses and depriving people of gainful employment. This is all about complying with the provisions of the Tax Code and paying the right taxes due to the government.” - Assistant Regional Director Eduardo L. Pagulayan, Jr.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Revenue Region (RR) No. 3, Tuguegarao City padlocked GUIANG’S STORE located at the New Public Market, Ilagan, Isabela, and KOBE SUPERMART in Santiago City, Isabela for having committed various violations of the National Internal Revenue of 1997, as amended (Tax Code), including gross under-declaration of sales for taxable year 2008.
GUIANG’S STORE, arguably the biggest store in the said market in Ilagan, and KOBE SUPERMART are both engaged in the wholesale and retail of grocery items/products. Guiang’s Store is owned and operated by a certain Aurelia A. Guiang, while Kobe Supermarket is owned and operated by a certain Marvie G. Chua.
The closure of said establishments, which became inevitable after they failed to refute the findings of Revenue District Office (RDO) No. 015, Ilagan, Isabela and comply with the 48 Hour Notice and 5 day Value-Added Tax (VAT) Notice issued and served by the BIR, was implemented after the Closure Orders signed by Commissioner Sixto S. Esquivias IV were served.
RR No. 03 Regional Director Thelma S. Milabao stressed that they tried to help the said businesses comply with the requirements of the BIR to avert closure proceedings but to no avail.
Assistant Regional Director Eduardo L. Pagulayan, Jr. likewise stressed the importance of compliance. He said, “This is not about closing businesses and depriving people of gainful employment. This is all about complying with the provisions of the Tax Code and paying the right taxes due to the government.”
Among the violations cited against Guiang’s Store were failure to register as mandatory VAT taxpayer, failure to supply correct and accurate information, attempt to evade or defeat tax, and perjury.
Surveillance activities undertaken by field men from RDO No. 015 established under-declaration of sales committed by Guiang’s Store of 35.18% in 2008.
Kobe Supermarket, on the other hand, was charged for under-declaration of purchases discovered through Third Party Information resulting to undeclared sales of more than 30% for taxable years 2007 and 2008 (1st quarter).
Under the Tax Code, there is substantial under-declaration of sales receipts/income if the amount of discovered unreported sales is 30% or more than what was reported by the business establishment in its returns filed with the BIR.
RDO No. 015 Revenue District Officer Nerissa Cruz-Agraam under whose jurisdiction the said taxpayers fall had this to say: “These are the first two establishments temporarily shuttered under my jurisdiction. We have two (2) more establishments who are likely candidates for closure before the year ends. Henceforth, we expect our taxpayers to comply and help us collect the taxes due to the government.”
Oplan Kandado is the flagship project of the BIR initiated by Commissioner Esquivias which aims to strictly enforce sanctions for non-compliance by business establishments with the requirements of the Tax Code. (Edited by Reymarie T. de la Cruz, Chief, TIED)
