Employment Taxes

Employment taxes

Whether you have one employee or a hundred, you will be way ahead of the game if you get an outside firm to handle your filings and payroll taxes. So, before you do anything else, get yourself a payroll service to take all of the time, hassle, anxiety, and risk out of the payroll process.
Employment tax rules are extremely complex. If you try to handle them yourself, you are bound to make a costly mistake and you'll pay interest and penalties. If a payroll service makes the mistake, typically, it will pay.

As an employer you have a tremendous fiduciary responsibility to collect and withhold taxes from employees on virtually every paycheck you issue. Throughout the United States, you must withhold an appropriate amount for federal income and other earnings-related taxes. Many states and some municipalities also require the payment of an income or other tax on earnings.

Your employees must fill out a federal W-4 form and a Form I-9 from the Immigration and Naturalization Service. States that do not use the same income basis for determining tax liability as does the federal government may require that employees fill out state filing forms.

You, or your payroll service, must determine the appropriate amount to be withheld for each individual. If you withhold too little from your employee's incomes, you will be penalized by the governments involved. The federal government also requires that you withhold your employees' share of federal Social Security and Medicare taxes. Tables for calculating federal withholding taxes are available from the Internal Revenue Service at

1-800-TAX-FORM

State withholding tables may be obtained from your state income tax department.

Budgeting for your share of the payroll taxes
The employer is also responsible for a share of their employee's unemployment, Social Security, and Medicare taxes. The amount that you pay will depend on many factors salaries, your firm's balance, if any, in your state's unemployment insurance account, dates of hire, and a host of other considerations. As a quick and dirty rule of thumb, allowing 13 percent on top of your gross payroll should cover your share of the payroll taxes.

Timing of employment tax payments
If you are a growing company, paying employment taxes yourself can be very frustrating. Employment tax rules change as the size of the company increases both your liability and the time frame in which the taxes must be paid. Following are two general guidelines:

New employers pay federal withholding taxes on a monthly basis. As the business grows, the frequency increases to semi-weekly. For the largest businesses, taxes are due within twenty-four hours of each payroll.
Each state has its own rules for frequency of payment. Generally, payments are not required more frequently than are federal taxes. But be sure to check with your state tax office

How to Calculate Taxes on Your Own

Taxpayers can use the sheet to compute the taxes on their own. Following are some steps with which they can use the sheet:
Fill in the amounts for the first category of payments like the Basic and HRA
Then fill up the "Other Payments" and "Pre-requisites or Others" sections if you receive such payment. Once filled up the aggregate amount will represent the your overall income
Now comes the part of finding out how much can be exempted from taxes. For this you will need to put in the applicable figures for your housing loan interest or loss from residential property. (In case you are eligible for any of the above mentioned tax exemptions granted under Section 80C, 80D, 80U or 80E you can also include the amount to calculate your taxable income.)

Tax Laws

The history of Income Tax in modern India dates back to 1860 when the first Income Tax Act was introduced and which remained in force for a period of 5 years. This Act lapsed in 1865.

Thereafter Act-II of 1886 was the next landmark. This Act of 1886 was a great improvement on its predecessor. It introduced the definition of agricultural income in the form in which it stands today and the exemption it granted in respect of agricultural income has continued to be a feature of all subsequent legislations.

The year 1918 saw the introduction of Act VII of 1918 which recasted the entire tax laws. This Act was designed inter-alia to remedy certain inequalities in the assessment of individual tax payers under the 1886 Act.

Income Tax Slabs For Financial Year 2011-12

For Male Citizen :

Then: The pre-budget period witnessed that the basic exemption limit was Rs. 1, 60, 000, where the total income of the assessee was in between Rs. 1.6 lakhs to Rs. 5 lakhs; tax levied on total income was 10%, in case the total income fell in between Rs. 5 lakhs to Rs. 8 lakhs; tax levied was 20% and whereas the total income was above Rs. 8 lakhs, the applicable rate of taxation was 30%.

Now: After the Union Budget 2011-12, there has been some amendments with respect to the figures. The limit has been raised by Rs. 20, 000. The basic exemption limit is Rs. 1, 80, 000, where the total income of the assessee is in between Rs. 1.8 lakhs to Rs. 5 lakhs; tax levied on total income will be 10%, in case the total income falls in between Rs. 5 lakhs to Rs. 8 lakhs; tax levied will be 20% and whereas the total income is above Rs. 8 lakhs, the applicable rate of taxation will be 30%.

For Female Citizen :

Then: The pre-budget period witnessed the basic exemption limit for women to be at Rs. 1, 90, 000, where the total income of the assessee was in between Rs. 1.9 lakhs to Rs. 5 lakhs; tax levied on total income was 10%, in case the total income fell in between Rs. 5 lakhs to Rs. 8 lakhs; tax levied was 20% and whereas the total income was above Rs. 8 lakhs, the applicable rate of taxation was 30%.

Now: The post budget of such exemption limit remains unchanged and the same shall be applicable as per the Union Budget 2011-12. The reason behind such ignorance is the new direct tax code which is likely to prevail from 1st April, 2012, which aims at abolishing the gender distinction system in terms of payment of tax.

For Senior Citizen :

Then:  The pre-budget period witnessed the basic exemption limit for senior citizens to be at Rs. 2, 40, 000, where the total income of the assessee was in between Rs. 2.4 lakhs to Rs. 5 lakhs; tax levied on total income was 10%, in case the total income fell in between Rs. 5 lakhs to Rs. 8 lakhs; tax levied was 20% and whereas the total income was above Rs. 8 lakhs, the applicable rate of taxation was 30%.

Now: After the Union Budget 2011-12, there has been some amendments with respect to the figures. The limit has been raised by Rs. 10, 000. The basic exemption limit is Rs. 2, 50, 000, where the total income of the assessee is in between Rs. 2.4 lakhs to Rs. 5 lakhs; tax levied on total income will be 10%, in case the total income falls in between Rs. 5 lakhs to Rs. 8 lakhs; tax levied will be 20% and whereas the total income is above Rs. 8 lakhs, the applicable rate of taxation will be 30%.

For Very Senior Citizen :

A new concept of very senior citizens has been introduced where people who have attained the age of 80 or more will fall. For this category, the assessee will get an exemption upto Rs. 5, 00, 000, earlier as these people fell under the senior citizen category, there limit was also restricted to Rs. 2, 40, 000. The rest of the part shall be similar to the present position of senior citizens, that is, from Rs. 5, 00, 000 to Rs. 8, 00, 000, 20% of the income shall be taxable and incase the income exceeds Rs. 8, 00, 000, 30% of the total income shall be taxable.

It shall be noted that in every case, the application of education cess and secondary and higher education cess shall prevail at the same rate of 2% and 1% respectively.

Advance Tax

As the name suggests, it refers to paying a part of your yearly taxes in advance. Advance tax is the income tax payable if your tax liability exceeds Rs 10,000 in a financial year. Advance tax should be paid in the year in which the income is received.

Advance tax is applicable when an individual has sources of income other than his/her salary. For instance, if one is earning through capital gains, interest on investments, lottery, house property or business, the concept becomes relevant.

Any rebate due fetches you an interest of 0.5 per cent every month, or, six per cent annually, as in the case of an income tax refund. However, if you don’t pay the advance tax on time, you’ll be charged one per cent every month, or, 12 per cent a year.

How To Save Income Tax In India?

As per the government law, it is mandatory for every citizen to pay the income tax. Tax assessment takes place every year in the month of March. Government has given so many benefits to the taxpayers. Tax payment is applicable for a person who is generating profit by any mode either by the business or from the job. In any of the public or private limited company, there are shareholders then the tax will not be exempted on the individual basis. The calculation is based on the annual profit generated by the organization.

In India, there are various tax slabs for the male and female and as per the annual salary, the tax deduction takes place. If a male individual earns (in Rs) 160,001 to 500,000, the tax would be 10% if it exceeds from 500,000 to 800,000 the tax would be 20% if it exceeds from 800,000 the tax would be 30%. Tax slabs for the female individual is different from the male individual, the tax limit for the female start from 190,001. For 190,001 the tax is 10%, from 500,000 to 800,000 tax is 20% whereas for above 800,000 tax would be 30%.

To get the tax benefit,  it is important to show the investment proof. Tax waiver is applicable if the investment has done in the following:

Mutual funds – There are several government and private mutual funds available in the market such as State Bank of India mutual funds, Franklin Templeton, Kotak Mahindra and ICICI. Investor has to take care that tax waiver is available only on those mutual funds that have a locking period; a fund without a locking period is not eligible for the income tax benefit.

Home Loan – If an individual has purchased any property on loan, a tax waiver is applicable on it.

House Rent – House rent is another mode to save the income tax. While filing for income tax, tax receipt should be attached.

Insurance Policy- Government has given tax benefit on different type of insurance policies such as life insurance policy and health Care. This should be noted that no tax benefit is given for the General insurance like motor insurance etc.

While filing for the income tax it is useful to attach the receipt of the documents as per the above list.
