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! 
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has issued another directive to business taxpayers to fully guide them in claiming deductions due to losses brought about by typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng.
REVENUE MEMORANDUM ORDER (RMO) No. 31-2009 gives the policies and guidelines governing the declaration of losses or destruction of business property resulting from an identifiable event of a sudden or unexpected, or unusual nature – otherwise known in taxation as “casualty losses.”
The RMO as issued stresses the need for business taxpayers to file with their respective BIR Offices a Sworn Declaration of Loss Arising from Casualty and other support documents deemed necessary to substantiate their proof of loss, within forty-five (45) days after the date of the event.
The Sworn Declaration must be supported by the taxpayer’s Financial Statement for the year immediately preceding the event and copies of the Insurance Policy(ies), if any, for the concerned properties.
Proof of the elements of the loss(es) claimed include, but not limited to, photographs of the properties taken before and after the typhoon with the latter showing the extent of the damage sustained, documentary evidence for determining the cost or valuation of the damaged properties such as but not limited to cancelled checks, vouchers, receipts, and other evidence of costs, insurance policy for the properties concerned, and police report in cases of robbery/theft during the typhoon and/or as a consequence of looting.
The requisites of deductibility for income tax purposes, as discussed in the RMO focus on properties actually used in the business enterprise and properly recorded in the accounting records and financial statements as part of the taxpayer’s assets.
The recovery of casualty losses through insurance claims is still governed by Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 12-77 and must be properly recorded and recognized in the taxpayer’s books of accounts. Moreover, the amount of loss compensated by insurance coverage should not be claimed as a deductible loss.
A revised format of the Sworn Declaration is included in the subject RMO and may be downloaded from the BIR Website at www.bir.gov.ph.
