How to import employeesโ€™ IT declarations using IT Declarations Plan Importer

Simplify income tax management with greytHR

Managing income tax declarations is an essential aspect of income tax compliance. Employees declare their planned income tax compliance such as insurance premiums, house rent, and other eligible expenses. These declarations ensure accurate income tax deductions, helping to avoid over or underpayment while streamlining tax computations.

However, handling income tax declarations collected offline can lead to inefficiencies, reduced visibility for employees, and potential errors in tax calculations. This may result in administrative overhead and employee queries.

The IT Declarations Plan Importer in greytHR solves these challenges by enabling admins to upload offline income tax declaration data seamlessly. It ensures employees can view and verify their declarations in the Employee Self-Service (ESS) portal, providing transparency and convenience.

When to use the IT Declarations Plan Importer

  1. During Onboarding: Simplify setup for new customer accounts.

  2. Implementation/Support Teams: Use when configuring accounts for new clients.

  3. For Offline Data: Import offline IT declarations, eliminating the need for employees to re-submit them.

What are the benefits of using greytHRโ€™s IT declarations Plan Importerย 

  • Reduces employee queries by displaying income tax declarations in the ESS portal.

  • Ensures data accuracy with precise tax computations for employees.

  • Allows seamless updates of IT declarations for payroll months.
