Hi all,
We do not have a breakdown in salary (like HRA, travel, etc.). Straight TDS or PT is deducted. Now, travel expenses are added for the marketing professionals in addition to their salary. My query is: should I add the travel expense to their salary and then deduct TDS or PT, or should I add the expense to the deducted salary?
Kindly suggest.
Thanks.

To my understanding, travel expenses for regular traveling on sales/marketing visits do not form part of the salary of an employee. It is the expense incurred by the company on account of Travel/Boarding & Lodging and Miscellaneous expenses for trips undertaken by its employees outside the municipal limits of the workplace. It may range from the same day return to n number of days. It can be based on actual expenses or flat allowances per day as per the travel policy of the company.
Such expenses are usually accounted for in the Company's Expense Account under respective heads and ledger under these heads once the tour vouchers are paid.

I assume that what you mean to say is that you are paying the marketing expenses and travel reimbursement in the same bank transfer or check that is given for the salary of the concerned employee. What you need to do is to separate the reimbursement of travel expenses from the rest of the salary. In your internal workings, compute the salary and the TDS. Thereafter, separately add the reimbursement to the total and transfer it to the bank account. It would also be a good idea for you to show it in the same manner on the salary slip.
