Taxation for HR Professionals
The taxation applies to workers and employees who are key subjects for Accounts/Finance personnel (Commerce, CA, and ICWA professionals).
The knowledge of HR professionals on taxation (Income Tax and Professional Tax) is a good and welcome feature because HR is limited to IT and PT for payroll management. For an in-depth understanding of the taxes associated with payroll, you have to go through the Income Tax and its applicability to different income groups and applicable exemption criteria by going through the relevant notifications and books (Income Tax on Salary by Swamy). In case of confusion, consult a tax consultant, preferably a Chartered Accountant.
Understanding Income Tax and Professional Tax
In recent times, the IT has been in a much simpler form, so you need a dedicated study of seven days. The Professional Tax varies from state to state, so you need to read the Professional Tax Act of your state with the recent amendments. Please do not refer to internet studies; rather, begin with the books, marking the pages with flags on the most relevant information.
