Before Tax Deduction
Before Tax Deduction is components/deduction from an employee’s gross salary that is deducted prior to the calculation of income tax. In payroll, these deductions reduce the taxable income of an employee; therefore, they will have an effect on TDS calculations and on the amount of money an employee takes home after taxes.
