Currently, we have set Income tax slabs, salary components and all required setups for running payroll. Everything works fine. But we need a small change in account heads for income tax.
Current setting is:
Problem:
(imagine below situation)
Salary Gross yearly: 7 Lakh
Taxation rule:
-
First 5 Lakh is taxed at 1% and booked under “Social Security Tax on Employee Salary” heading by the tax office. (we use 2320 account head as shown in above screenshot)
-
Next 2 lakh is taxed at 10% and booked under “TDS on Employee Salary”. (we created another account: 2330. It should be used.)
How can I setup the salary component/salary structure such that,
- for all employees getting under 5 lakh, tax will be booked under account head 2320 only @ 1%
- For all employees getting above 5 lakh, tax will be booked under two account heads such as:
a. under 2320: 1% of 5 lakh = 5000
b. under 2330: 10% of 2 lakh (if gross salary yearly is 7 lakh): 10% of 2 lakh = 20,000
Total tax = 25,000.
