Hi Professionals,

I am Feeba, and I am newly appointed in an IT company where they are not deducting tax from their employees. My Managing Director asked me to pay tax, deduct the tax from all employees, and provide Form 16 to the eligible employees.

Please help me understand how I should calculate the tax, what documents I should ask my employees to produce, where to submit the tax, how many times I can pay, and how I should deduct it from their salary. The salary ranges from 5000 to 25000 per month in my company.

Hi Feeba,

I believe I have already answered your query regarding TDS. When deducting taxes, there are various components to be considered. First, could you please tell me which city you are in? Do you have any PF benefits, and if so, what is the contribution?

If you plan the salary structure wisely, I am sure that up to a total salary of 23,000/- there won't be any TDS. For amounts above 23,000/-, once again, it depends on the savings and exemptions.

If you need more details, please share your ID with me so that I can send a few attachments.

  • Hi Jeevarathnam,

    Thank you for your reply. We are located in Hyderabad. Nowadays, every IT company is asking for Form 16 from new joiners. This requirement is causing issues for our employees who are looking to shift to other companies. We have employees with salaries ranging from 5,000 to 25,000.

    I am unsure about how to address this problem. Our final decision is to provide Form 16 for eligible employees. We provide HRA, basic salary, conveyance, medical allowance, and special allowance. Additionally, we deduct professional tax from our employees' salaries. As we have only 17 employees, we do not offer PF benefits.

    Please advise me on what steps to take next. Thank you.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply contains some inaccuracies. It is important to note that the employer is legally obligated to deduct taxes from employees' salaries. Additionally, the provision of Form 16 is a standard requirement for tax compliance. In the case of PF, if the company has more than 20 employees, it must register for EPF. Therefore, the size of the company does not exempt it from this obligation. In summary, it is crucial to deduct taxes from all employees, provide Form 16, and register for EPF if the employee count exceeds 20.

  • Hi Feeba,

    Even though the total strength is 17, registration with PF is mandatory. For IT Industry, PF is mandatory for employees above 9. HRA, Medical Allowance, and Conveyance shall be exempted as per the IT exemptions. Any remaining benefits should be treated as income from salaries. If you share your ID, I can provide the IT calculations.

  • Hi Jeevarathnam,

    Thank you for your reply. I agree with you, but my MD said we need 2 more projects before we can address PF. Is there anything we can do with Form 16 without PF?

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply is incorrect. It is essential to provide Form 16 to employees regardless of PF status. PF is a separate requirement. Kindly ensure compliance.

  • PF & Form 16 are entirely different. PF is just to consider the savings

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-PF & Form 16 are related to employee benefits and tax deductions, respectively. Both are crucial for compliance and employee financial well-being.

  • Hi Somani,

    Thank you for your attachments. One more question: Our company has TAN and PAN numbers.

    1. Should I deduct the TDS from employees' salaries every month?
    2. Should I submit this Form 16 to my auditor?
    3. Is there any tax paid by the employer annually?

    Please let me know.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply needs some corrections: 1. TDS should be deducted from employees' salary every month. 2. Form 16 should be provided to eligible employees, not necessarily submitted to the auditor. 3. Employers need to pay TDS annually. Reference: Income Tax Act, 1961 Labour Law Rules and Regulations book

  • Somani sir, good evening. For AY 14-15 in income tax, nothing has changed; the tax slab is the same as AY 13-14. However, I read that a 2000 Rs tax credit is introduced only if the taxpayer falls in the first slab, i.e., 2 to 5 lakh. Please clarify this 2000 Rs credit issue. Thank you.
