Payroll is an essential function for any business that wants to operate legally, efficiently, and profitably. Payroll helps a business to:

• Comply with labor laws and regulations
• Calculate and pay the correct amount of income tax, social security, and other statutory deductions
• Manage and administer employee benefits, such as provident fund, gratuity, medical insurance, and leave
• Maintain and update employee records, such as personal details, attendance, overtime, leaves, and loans
• Generate and distribute payslips, salary certificates, and other payroll documents
• Ensure timely and accurate payment of salaries and wages to the employees
• Avoid penalties, fines, and litigation for non-compliance or errors
• Enhance employee satisfaction and loyalty
• Improve productivity and performance
• Reduce administrative costs and overheads
• Streamline and automate payroll processes and systems

Tax Compliance

Tax compliance is a crucial aspect of payroll, as it involves the calculation and payment of various taxes and deductions that are applicable to the employees and the business. Tax compliance can be complicated and confusing, as it depends on various factors, such as the type, size, and location of the business, the nature, duration, and frequency of the employment, the income, allowances, and deductions of the employees, and the tax rates, slabs, and exemptions of the government.

Some of the common taxes and deductions that are involved in payroll are:

• Income Tax: This is the tax levied on the income of the employees, as per the Income Tax Act, 1961. The income tax is deducted at source (TDS) by the employer from the salary of the employees, and deposited to the government on a monthly or quarterly basis. The employer also has to issue Form 16 to the employees, which is a certificate of TDS and income details. The employees have to file their income tax returns (ITR) annually, and claim refunds or pay additional taxes, if any.
• Professional Tax: This is the tax levied on the profession, trade, or employment of the employees, as per the respective state laws. The professional tax is deducted by the employer from the salary of the employees, and deposited to the state government on a monthly or annual basis. The professional tax rates and slabs vary from state to state, and are subject to a maximum limit of Rs. 2,500 per annum.
• Employee Provident Fund (EPF): This is a social security scheme that provides retirement benefits to the employees, as per the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The EPF is applicable to the businesses that employ 20 or more employees, and have a basic salary of less than Rs. 15,000 per month. The EPF is contributed by both the employer and the employee, at the rate of 12% of the basic salary each. The employer also has to contribute 0.5% of the basic salary towards the Employees’ Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) scheme, and 0.65% of the basic salary towards the EPF administrative charges. The EPF is deposited to the EPF account of the employee on a monthly basis, and can be withdrawn or transferred by the employee, subject to certain conditions and rules.
• Employee State Insurance (ESI): This is a social security scheme that provides medical and cash benefits to the employees and their dependents, in case of sickness, maternity, disability, or death, as per the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948. The ESI is applicable to the businesses that employ 10 or more employees, and have a gross salary of less than Rs. 21,000 per month. The ESI is contributed by both the employer and the employee, at the rate of 3.25% and 0.75% of the gross salary respectively. The ESI is deposited to the ESI account of the employee on a monthly basis, and can be availed by the employee, subject to certain conditions and rules.
