Tax Deductor Details

Tax Deductor is the person who is responsible for deducting income tax from each employee’s salary and depositing it to the Income Tax department. Select your organisation’s tax deductor from the drop-down and enter their father’s name.

Note: Tax Deductor should ideally be an employee in your organisation. Father’s name will be pre-filled in that case. Also, you cannot delete the employee who has been selected as a tax-deductor for your organisation.

Add Non-Employee As Tax Deductor

You can now add a person who is not your employee, such as a third-party accountant or auditor, as a Tax Deductor in Zoho Payroll. The tax deductor will be responsible for remitting your tax to the government.

To add a tax deductor:

• Go to Settings on the top right corner of the page and navigate to Taxes.
• In Tax Deductor Details section, choose Deductor’s Type as Non-Employee.

• Enter your Deductor’s Name, Deductor’s Father’s Name and Deductor’s Designation in their respective fields.
