How to Process Professional Tax in SPARK ?

Its time again to remit Professional tax. Now there is a change in the earlier mode of payment. It was adding six months income and calculating tax and remitting the amount towards tax in person. When the salary bills processing has become online, SPARK has bid farewell to such obsolete methods and time has passed by after the facility had been set up. Shall we deduct professional tax from this month salary itself? Let’s have a look on the way of doing it in Establishment interface in SPARK.

STEP 1
Salary Matters >> Processing >> Professional tax Calculation

STEP 2
Select DDO, Bill type from the following window.

STEP 3

If previous entry exists, click Remove Existing Professional tax to remove it. Then click Include Professional Tax. As the window opens, First half /Second half can be seen just below the Financial year. Since it is time to pay for the first half (April – Sep), click First half. Needless to say to click second half for paying tax amount of that particular period.

Click confirm to proceed. The details of professional tax deduction of those in Bill Type selected would be available then. To print/save the deduction statement, click Print Professional Tax Deduction.

When it is done, Professional tax deduction entry in Deduction column in Present Salary Details of staff in that Bill Type would be there.

STEP 4

Now, the salary for this month can be processed as usual. Professional tax schedule also can be printed out with other schedules from Bills and Schedule. This amount will be credited to the Special TSB account (STSB) in the name of DDO after the bill has been passed. Now the professional tax can be paid to the Panchayath / Municipality by cheque or payment transfer through cheque. Also, professional tax statement from SPARK can be submitted with this.
