REVENUE MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO.

16-2021 issued on January 28, 2021 prescribes the


guidelines in the submission of list of recipients of income exempt from Income Tax pursuant to Republic
Act (RA) No. 11494 (Bayanihan to Recover as One Act), as implemented under Revenue Regulations (RR)
No. 29-2020.
Pursuant to Section 4 of the said RR, all employers required to submit Alphabetical List of
Employees/Payees annually are required to submit a one-time list of recipients of income mentioned under
Section 3 of the said RR relative to income payments exempt from Income Tax on or before January 15,
2021 to the Revenue District Offices (RDOs)/concerned office under Large Taxpayers Service (LTS)
having jurisdiction over the employer. Said list shall indicate the name of the recipient, the corresponding
Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), the nature and amount of income payment paid, and the date of
payment. Likewise, the said list shall be attested to by the authorized official of the employer/implementing
government agency.
In addition to the one-time list, employers shall also submit a quarterly report pertaining to
employees who received retirement benefits exempted from Income Tax but later re-employed by them or
their related parties during the succeeding twelve-month period from retirement. The submission of this
quarterly report shall be done thirty (30) days from the close of all calendar quarters of 2021.
The prescribed template to be used for the required lists are attached as Annexes "A" and "B" of
the Circular. The deadline for the submission of the one-time list is extended to January 31, 2021, to give
employers/implementing agencies ample time to convert their lists into the prescribed format. However,
the hard copies submitted shall be accompanied by soft copies contained in a Universal Serial Bus (USB)
flash drive.
The hard copies shall be stamped "RECEIVED" by the Bureau's receiving office once the soft
copies in USB flash drive are copied and stored by the receiving Revenue Officer. Concerned receiving
offices shall prepare a report and the Regional Office/LTS shall submit the consolidated report in soft copy
to the Planning and Management Service, Attention: Research and Statistics Division, not later than
February 10, 2021 for the one-time list.
For the submission of the quarterly report by concerned employers/implementing agencies, the
deadline which is thirty (30) days after the close of all calendar quarters of 2021, is reiterated. All employees
hired during the year 2021, regardless if the said employee has previous employer or not, shall be included
in the list. If they have previous employer, the information required in the prescribed template (Annex B)
can be determined from BIR Form 2316 issued by the previous employer. Thus, said BIR Form is required.
